- So I had an idea, checked to see that no-one else was running a
- similar list, got a few names, put them in a file, pointed an
- alias in /usr/local/lib/mail/aliases to the file, and told the world.
- I'm on a Sun running Sun OS 4.1.x and I'm root.
-
- 1) Is there a FAQ anywhere on this? I have searched gopherspace and
- found only BITNET/LISTSERV FAQ's
-
- 2) What list software is available for Unix? Is there anything better than
- doing it by hand but smaller than running Unix listserv software?
-
- 3) is there a list or group for maintainers of lists? Again, I have
- found resources for BITNET only.
-
- Thanks, Betsy
