For the WPI GDC we use to use mailman because of the nice web interface
(and that is what the previous sys admin before used). However mailman
kept breaking (like every other day) and would take days sometime weeks
to fix. This just wasn't a solution because we needed out mailing
lists. We have since switched over to majordomo and I haven't had a
problem yet. Plus the majorcool (an online interface for majordomo) is
very nice and very full featured. I'd say go with majordomo anyday.

Wasn't aware of majordomo 1s security issues, but I'd guessed it was a
licensing thing.

Perhaps a little less contentious would be: what is people's preferred
mailing list management software (and why)? I'd be interested to know.
I just went the majordomo route because I'd heard of it previously and
thought I'd give it a go. Not exactly a decision based on science, but
hey...
Cheers,
