I've got about 30 sizable lists running on mailman, all of which are majordomo converts <grin>. Though most of the listowners miss the old majordomo feature of notifying the administrator when subscribes or unsubscribes occur, they like alot of the other features alot, like automatic bounce processing, web archiving, etc. Some of the features they dont even know they like, like the fact that the site admin can define SMTPHOST.
little story, that might come in handy for others one day.
last night a disk problem on our main mail hub left us without what is by far our most powerful mail server. i had to set up 3 linux mail exchangers to take its place while we worked on it, and one of them was doing the outgoing mail for these 30 or so recently converted lists. So i renamed the SMTPHOST to something else and created round robbin A records for that very something else, so that whenever mailman requested delivery of outgoing mail, it randomly chose the services of 4 different machines. were i not able to do that.
