Hello,
I have been asked to make a comparision between Revised Listserv and
the Unix mailing list managers. Because there are too much of the latest,
I will start only with Majordomo.
The comparision is only in terms of functionality, and of course we do
not want to go too much into detail.
I have made a comparision starting from my own viewpoint (I guess I am
not really neutral because I maintain a backbone listserv, am a list-owner
and end user of several listserv mailing lists, and I have only one
subscription on a Majordomo mailing list).
Please mail me if you think I forgot something important, or if I missed
something.
Thanks in advance,
-Herman-
