Mailman and CommunigatePro?
Does anyone have any experience using Mailman with CommunigatePro from Stalker Software? CGPro also has some list functionality, but I am already running a number of lists with Mailman that I am loathe to have to move (to say nothing of the fact that the list functionality in CGPro costs money I don't have...)
Please copy me directly as I'm a digester...

There are a number of things we don't like about CGPro w.r.t. mailing lists, including the pain of configuring it correctly, its tendency to bogusly divulge internal list names, and the privilege of paying for every extra list we want to run. I'm not the CGPro administrator, so I can't speak to many more details, but suffice to say we're probably going to be moving all our internal lists to Mailman as soon as we can find the cycles.
Other than that, and speaking purely as a user, CGPro seems to have some nice features.

I'm still curious as to whether or not it will work given that Mailman is essentially expecting sendmail and that one has to do some interesting things with aliases for sendmail as part of setting up Mailman lists... I' m just not certain how one would go about setting up the equivalent alias functionality in CGatePro...

Really, I think the Exim way is much better, in that the MTA should just automatically deliver to lists as soon as they're created.
I know zip about CGPro except that I get my digicool.com mail through it, and it doesn't seem to screw things up too badly. ;)
