MailServ provides a World Wide Web interface to several types of mailing list servers. Users
can select commands, enter information, and press buttons to send
email commands to the mail server. For example:
MailServ does not provide the actual mailing list services
(you'll need to have an existing mailing list management program to do
that), but what do you expect -- MailServ is free!
Anyone who has a web page can use MailServ by linking to this
server. You don't need to know what CGI or
Perl means - if you can type in HTML, then your web
pages can have MailServ buttons like the one above.
Installing MailServ on your own server.
On the other hand, if you have earned the name
webmaster, you can install MailServ on your own
server. You can even customize it with your own look-and-feel.
Since MailServ is written entirely in Perl, it's a snap.
Another WWW mailing list gateway, more feature-rich than
MailServ, but appears to be geared more for maintaining a
database of different mailing lists. Written by
