One of our users is looking for software that would help in administering a mailing list. What he is looking for is something that emulates the LISTSERV's function in a Unix/Sendmail/Internet environment - namely automatic subscription and removal - but any other features would probably be welcome. Has anyone seen such software? Thanks; John Stewart DREnet Coordinator 613-831-0888

There is a crude UNIX-based listserv program available by anonymous FTP from host UCSD.EDU. Russ Nelson has been upgrading it but isn't done yet, so you are welcome to take the old version and make of it what you will, with no guarantees. If you don't have FTP access, perhaps a friend who does will fetch it for you. - Brian

I've got a PERL program that does subscription and removal and help, but naught else. Still, you're welcome to it. It's far from perfect (there's a little race condition involving unsubscription, where the unsubcribe might fail if somebody else is unsubcribing), but it works, and it's moderately well commented. -- Lyle Wang lws@comm.wang.com 508 967 2322 Lowell, MA, USA uunet!comm.wang.com!lws
