The new versions of the lists are running on a Lyris server. Although

Majordomo and before that Macjordomo have served us well for the last 5

(nearly 6!) years, Lyris provides a more industrial version with database

functionality and more personalisation features like the unsubscribe link at

the bottom of each email.


Having said that it's taken us quite a while to get it set-up just how we

wanted and to fully get into Lyris' features and drawbacks. There's still

something to be said for Majordomo, particularly if you extend it, which we

did, to include batch delivery features. It involves some fairly heavy duty

monkeying around with Perl though.


If you (or anyone else) has questions about Lyris/mail serving, feel free to

ask off-list...I suspect this probably bores everyone not involved rigid.


Hope this helps.
