Biggest problem is ezmlm does not have a nice way of web archiving the messages. Next problem, even with ezweb, ezmlm is no where as easy to admin as Mailman. Since we mailing lists where users are, hmmm, not technical :-) the web interface rocks. Next, qmail/ezmlm installation sucks. All these dependencies of uid and account names. Makes it really hard to compile the stuff on 1 box and deploy it on another. Especially when you don't install a development environment on your list servers. Finally, qmail/ezmlm upgrade/maintenance sucks. It never 'drops' into place. You always have to tweak something. I have done 3 upgrades of Mailman, each has been flawless. As a busy admin, this is a godsend. I will miss the security and SPEED of qmail, but from admin point and end-user point Mailman is a better product. -- Bob Tanner <tanner at real-time.com> | Phone : (612)943-8700 http://www.mn-linux.org | Fax : (612)943-8500 Key fingerprint = 6C E9 51 4F D5 3E 4C 66 62 A9 10 E5 35 85 39 D9 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
