Non-forward thinking people might need it explained to them, though. (?)

If it's what I think it is, you don't want Majordomo if you can help it. It isn't even an application, it's a perl script. I think you'll find listserv to be much more configurable if you can get it compiled. I'm so disappointed with Majordomo that I'm planning a full-time connection so I can run ListStar from home. You wouldn't believe the options Majordomo doesn't have...

Thinking about it, if you can't get listserve made, there are a battery of cgi scripts (some of them in C, if I remember right, so they're fast) for running a message board off your web page. I have some bookmarks if you want them. Lawd, I wish I had root access, there are so many improvements I could make. ;)
