[illumos-Discuss] Proposed migration off Mailman

[Andre van Eyssen]

+1000. I'm sick of getting all the bounce messages from people trying to 
pump spam and crap down the lists. The sooner it gets packed up and sent 
to listbox the better.

The current solution was built literally at the last minute and was rolled 
to be running as quickly as possible.

Actually addressing the points.

1. No. I went through this a while back and all mailing list software 
sucks. Mailman is actually one of the better options out there, which 
speaks volumes as to the state of that industry.

2. No. Google sucks. Google groups suck. I see no reason to hand Google 
out data, a giant list membership for marketing purposes and contribute to 
Google's overall part in the downfall of email.

3. I'm perfectly happy with this option, especially knowing that bdha has 
rewt on this platform anyway. This outfit has a stellar reputation for 
doing the right thing.

Andre.
