Top Document: Mailing list management software FAQ Previous Document: 4.01 Changes in this version Next Document: 4.03 Acronyms explained (FAQ, MLM, MTA, MUA) See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge In version 1.0.1.0, the first posted to news.answers, I depended heavily on the kindness of the various MLMs' authors. Without their annotations and corrections it would have been a misleading document. Two people who were *very* patient with me were Eric Thomas (author of LISTSERV) and Stephen van den Berg (author of SmartList). Especially Stephen :-). Also, David Barr, author of the Majordomo FAQ, is the man who suggested I turn this document into a FAQ in the first place -- I originally intended for it to be just a few paragraphs in his document, and somehow it ballooned ... In version 1.1, most changes I made were to correct errors that various people spotted and pointed out to me. Specifically: Bob Bagwill <bagwill@sst.ncsl.nist.gov> pointed out that SmartList's remote administration by mail requires placement of commands in the message header. Brent Chapman <Brent@GreatCircle.Com> corrected my misapprehension that he was the author of Majordomo's link to ftpmail :-) while kindly taking the time to read over the FAQ as a sort of historical consultant. Michelle Dick <artemis@netcom.com> has written several messages that changed my *view* of some issues (this goes back to the first version) -- so I can't quite point to which section she changed, but her influence is in there. Joe Sparrow <jsparrow@uwm.uvic.ca> was the first to point out to me that my discussion of MTA's and MUA's under VM was incorrect, and to give me a clear view of what the situation really is. David W. Tamkin <dattier@wwa.com> caught my use of "priority" when I meant "precedence." Windigo the Feral <windigo@thepoint.com> sent a very nice description of a particular type of built-in mailing list support, in DG/UX Sendmail. Needless to say, I am responsible for all errors that remain.
