hi ya paul
my crack at moving stuff off of yahoo...
- i assum those "readers that posts thru web interface"
are those using yahoo mail or hotmail etc..etc..
on my debian boxes...
- exim and mailman is "debianized" and works in general
- i d/l compiled mj/sendmail from the originating site
to get it to work in lieu of the pre-packaged broken mta/ml
to get rid of other peoples propaganda on your mailing lists
- host your mailing list on your own servers ??? ( lists.dyndns.org ?? )
sendmail or exim... ( pick your mta )
mailman or majordomo ... ( pick your poison )
my past experiences with debian.. ( sendmail + majordomo )
for lots-of- virtual domains ( over a dozen - simple/fast/easy/cloneable)
- good thing is i learned m4 ...nice toy...i wonder why
people still try to read/edit the sendmail.cf jibberish
( to find the security holes ?? )
and mailman and exim supposed to work good too
- didnt get exim-3.2x(?) or later working right w/ majordomo
for majordomo guis and searchable archives apps..

for web-based email posting to your list...
( replacing yahoo mail that inserts their propaganda ?? )
- you'd need to create new accounts for them so that they
can seamlessly post again etc w/o having to re-subscribe
- web-based email apps
http://www.Linux-Consulting.com/Mail/webmail.txt
- you might need to "de-mime/de-junkized" incoming email posts
to your list that originated from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
- i suppose they can still post emails from their yahoo account..
have fun linuxing
