Go to <http://wiki.list.org/FrontPage> and search titles for "mac". I have a source install of Mailman 2.1 on Mac OS X 10.11 (originally installed on 10.10) in a fink environment with the fink versions of Postfix and Apache. This works fine for my development purposes. Others have installed Mailman 3 in a similar environment and I will be doing that too at some point, but I haven't yet. > * Better use Mailman 2.1 or Mailman 3? Mailman 3 is the future and arguably a better choice for new lists. > * Does anybody here work with the Apple-version of Mailman? There are some posts in the list archives from people who do.

Have you considered a Raspberry Pi ;) Seriously, this is pretty low volume. I think almost anything can handle it. I think your most serious issue would be getting your mail accepted by recipient ISPs without a 'non-generic' domain name and 'full circle' DNS unless you are using your ISP as a smart host to relay your outbound mail, but that would not be any different than with your current solution, so I guess you have it covered. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
