Have you ever tried to run a list with volumes like ours, and opennes (for posting) requirements like ours ? I have had some experience with those "more modern" beasts, and sure they are pretty with web-interfaces, but try to manage them thru that web-junk, when they have several thousand blocked junk messages to be discarded... We manage this thing with custom command-line utilities. In the early days there was no such a thing as "web", for example, and we really haven't seen anything so truly worthwhile in any new systems to warrant switching entire system over to them. (And we have seen so much BAD in those eye-candy things that...) I sure may sound like "if it was good enough for your grandpa, it shall be good enough for you" -- but if one can't send email to the Majordomo (and manage to follow those basic instructions), perhaps they should not subscribe either... > -- > Marc Perkel - marc@perkel.com > Spam Filter: http://www.junkemailfilter.com > My Blog: http://marc.perkel.com /Matti Aarnio -- one of - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
