- 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.
