SUMMARY - List servers

The question was: I need a good list server. I am starting a CF list and
need a list server to run on a Sparc.

Many people responded, but they all mentioned the same two list servers. I
will include the text below.

Thanks to all that responded. Btw, this question generated more "Me too"
responses than suggestions, so I guess it's a good thing that I asked.

Paul-

P.S. does anyone want to be added to my Cystic Fibrosis list ?

----archie for listproc
I have two different systems running it, one a SPARC and one an RS6000.

listproc works good. From cs.bu.edu or your favourite archive site.

Bill ---- Try majordomo from ftp.greatcircle.com..........

You can get it at ftp.greatcircle.com in /pub/majordomo.

I'm runing it on a Sparc 4/670 and am having no troubles at all.

----- One of the best available for simple lists is majordomo availble from frp.greatcircle.com.

--- check out listproc, should be available at cs.bu.edu in the /pub/listserv directory. version 6.0c does almost all automatic list handling and based on our experience of version 5.5 is easy to run although 5.5 was missing features such as searching of archive files (in 6.0c). It needs an ANSI C compiler but the unproto untility allows a K&R compiler to build the thing.

I can send more information if you're interested.

I am currently using the listserv software written by some one at Boston University. It works quite well.

You should also look at Majordomo written by Brent Chapman. It is avail- able from ftp.greatcircle.com.

If I were setting up the listserv I run at this time I would personally use "Majordomo."

_ken nawyn nynex s & t, inc --- Brent Chapman's majordomo is great. I can't remember the source, but an archie search would definitely find it.

Darrell rootd@genome1.ohsu.edu ---- Hello,

Get the listserv package from cs.bu.edu... I think it is the best and I've been running the last version for months without problems. Most popular mailing lists use this package and this last version even allows you have people telnetting to the server and issue listserv commands.

Yves Lepage yves@cc.mcgill.ca ---- Majordomo is pretty good. :) Andy ----
