Just in case people are looking for a spectacularly good program suite to
run one or more mailing lists with very little manual intervention, I've
been able to put up the 'Majordomo' mail server under Linux with zero
problems on my system here, which runs sendmail5.65c+IDA from the binary
distribution located on sunsite.unc.edu.

In case you didn't know, majordomo permits users to do all the normal stuff
(subscribe/unsubscribe/list-users/get-help) with a minimum of effort.  In
fact, you can even run multiple lists on one system with multiple REMOTE
'list-administrators' who don't even need accounts on the system running
the majordomo software.

This software is used to administer at least 17 mailing lists for USENIX
and is documented in the proceedings of last year's LISA conference.  The
software is available for anonymous ftp at ftp.GreatCircle.COM

[...to the folks running the Linux channels, if you ever wanted to remove
	those (IMHO incredible lame) X-Mn-Key: header requirements on the
	mailing lists, this software will let you do it.  It is absolutely 
	tremendous.  If you want more info or help in setting it up to
	replace the current software (or just to check it out), please
	let me know via e-mail at this address...]
