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- Listserv | Majordomo | ========================================================= | | | subscribe by user y | y unsubscribe by user y | y review of a list y | y on which lists am I subscribed ? n | y (on the same site) logs of list y | y search these logs y | n file server functions (get a file) y | y (only logs ?)
