For archival reason, I claim that some people would not be excited by such choice. Mailman, for better or worse, has bigger user base, thus should have such minutia as security problems resolved faster and maybe in better ways. Of course if someone writes a replacement and it is indeed better than original, that would be another thing. Perhaps the effort should start with explaining what should be improved. (Note: I am not involved in any way, I am just saying - overally, I am excited about improving software - for example, can it be claimed that Racket-based clone of Mailman would be more secure? would deal better with spammorz, i.e. treat them worse than original? etc). -- Regards, Tomasz Rola -- ** A C programmer asked whether computer had Buddha's nature. ** ** As the answer, master did "rm -rif" on the programmer's home ** ** directory.
