Gosh, Sam - aren't we going to get a rec. from you? UKNM has been awfully

zippy of late...


[Sam says: sorry this isn't a proper reply, tomorrow's networking do is

keeping me rather busy, I'll respond properly later in the week...but as a

quickie...UKNM uses a heavily customised version of Majordomo with a lot of

scripts to make the administration quicker. Lyris is a good option and it is

likely that UKNM will migrate to this platform in the next couple of months.

Lyris is heavily cutomisable and is much easier to install and configure.

I'd also seriously consider ASP solutions such as Exactis or Mail-Ignite

(not that I've used either personally) for speed of getting up and running.

<plug>Chinwag can also help putting such beasts together.</plug>]
