Subject: maintaining mailing lists with Pine

One of our uses has been maintaining a mailing list with DISMAN on a VAX,
but has run into all sorts of problems with bounced and repeating messages.
He's asked us to set up LISTSERV software to use instead, but I wondered
if there was another alternative -- Pine.

So, what experiences do people have maintaining mailing lists with Pine?
How big are your mailing lists, and how well do they work? Is Pine-Info
maintained with Pine?

Thanks,

Earl Fogel

Earl,

Pine was not designed to handle the administration of mailing lists.
Some people use the addressbook feature for very small lists, but that's
about it.

We have lots of mailing lists (including pine-info) and have turned
to other software to manage them.  We use a program called Majordomo
for managing the pine-info list.
