[AT] OT Majordomo vs Mailman etc

[Howard Fleming]

Another (free) one that you might look at is Mercury mail 
(www.pmail.com).  Runs on windows 9x and above (I recommend NT 4.0sp6a 
and above personally... :).  Works well, I have been running it for 
both mail and listserves for about 6+ years, and currently running it 
for my mail server here.  

While mailman probably is a better product, I have not worked with it 
(yet).
