[Mailman-Users] Can I pay for Technical support? re: MailMan?

[G. Armour Van Horn]

Yeah, I have my Mailman machine, along with three webservers and my private home
network, on a DSL line, and I don't think the proposed mail volume would be any
problem on his DSL line, which is faster than my 768K/768K line here.

In two years I've had two outages. One was resolved by updating the firmware in
the router, the other was 14 hours but was a problem with a Cisco firmware
upgrade at the telco end and it took out every static-IP install in the system.
Total of 16 hours in two years!

I did give the guy my hourly rate for help, I think there are quite a few of us
who could help him get started down the right track with just a couple of hours
of work. For some, just having a phone number is a lot more comforting than
relying on a mailing list. Having a range of options in this regard will make it
a lot easier for OpenSource products to grow out there.
