Arthur sent a URL for a mailing list manager called sympa written in perl:
http://www.sympa.org/features.html
Sort of a rhetorical question, but why are we (er not me mostly) writing
siesta? It feels like re-inventing the wheel given what sympa can already
do (some things on that page)
Fast distribution process & Load control.
Tuning of maximum number of SMTP sessions.
Sorting of recepients before distribution.
Compatible with most SMTP engine (sendmail, qmail or postfix).
Detailed logs.
...
Per list Configuration.
...
Superficially it feels like "Not Invented Here" is the main reason that siesta
is being written, given that sympa and majorodomo 2 are both "perl not python"
However, I suspect I'm forgetting that the biggest itch that siesta intends
to scratch - per user Reply-To munging. Is that correct?
