[edit] Exim integration question

Why should the integration with exim be the best? With postfix it works just as well. Jeroenvrp 15:28, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure. Perhaps there is special code in Exim to integrate with Mailman? In my experience administering Postfix you have to add aliases for each Mailman list; the article claims that for Exim you do not need to do this. --FOo 07:04, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Can mailman handle multiple domain

Wonder if someone here can hightlight if exim can handle multiple domains. That was what I had come to check out here. May update it once I figure it out

[edit] Pipermail

article needs to explain why pipermail redirects here. Martin

I was curious. Here is what I found. Maybe this will help until something is incorporated into the article. Jebix 20:27, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
Pipermail is the bundled message archiver that comes with Mailman. Even though it's bundled, it is fairly separable, although Pipermail is probably more like a parasitic twin than an equal. Mailman in fact, has a very simple interface for hooking in external archivers other than Pipermail, and many people e.g. use MHonArc. [1]

[edit] easy to use?

Mailman's chief distinction is its easy-to-use Web interface for list administration. Distinction from what? I find the web interface clumsy and antiquated, compared to yahoogroups, googlegroups etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.162.43.89 (talk) 02:05, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
