[comp.mail.sendmail] How do YOU handle mailgroups for an organisation

ian@ucs.sfu.ca (Ian Reddy) (02/15/91)

I would like to know how others handle the administration of e-mail
groups or mailing lists on the main (UNIX) mailhost of an
organisation. Do you allow it and if so do you do the obvious and
simply have the superuser add groups to the aliases file? How do
you handle the possibility of hundreds of such requests coming
from a community of thousands of users? Is someone having to do
this fulltime? How do you check for the legitimacy of a request?

More importantly is there some simple method or software that
I've missed here?
