>From wikipedia: The current version of Majordomo is 1.94.5, released 19 January 2000.[4] The official website warns that it will not work with Perl versions 5.001 and 5.005_01 specifically. It recommends to use Perl 4.036 or the latest version available. Support for Perl 4.036 may not be kept for the future.[5] >From me: We ran many mailing lists from the mid 1990's to the mid 2000's with Majordomo. It worked well then and I infer from its continued employment here that it still does. However, it has not been worked on in a considerable time and the world for which it was constructed no longer exists. Shortly before we switched to Mailman a Majordomo 2 project started up and this is still active. You can find the source for MJ2 at http://ftp.mj2.org/pub/mj2/snapshots/ For the few mailing lists that we still host we switched to Mailman around 2005. This was mainly due to the fact that at the time it shipped with RHEL and RHEL was what we were using. RHEL still includes Mailman as far as I know. Mailman is still under active development. It was updated to accommodate the 2015 DMARC fiasco. It also has a web based management interface and built-in archiving tool. These features make Mailman somewhat more convenient for list managers who may not themselves be sysadmins.
