Description:
MailList is a mailing list daemon offering three basic services:
o Management of mailing-lists.
The idea was taken from LISTSERV for BITNET, ListProcessor for UN*X
and MajorDomo (Perl), to write an application that could allow you
to manage mailing-lists under the RiscOS desktop. Provided ofcourse
that your Archimedes is a node on the InterNet (via UUCP or TCP/IP)
o A simple mail-server.
As a spin-off of the mailing-list I decided to also integrate a
simple mail-server robot into MailList. The mail-server robot is a
separate service from the mailing-list. You don't need to create any
mailing-lists to be a mail-server site and vice versa. MailList
handles both separately.
o A (very) simple scheduler.
Mail and news articles can be scheduled to be sent out at a give
date and interval. This is useful for regular postings (FAQ) or
birthday greetings, etc.
