OpenSuSE mailing-list are managed by ezmlm. This is a strange choice considering:
1. There is no ezmlm RPM package in OpenSuSE. It is a bit odd that a distribution uses a software on its servers that it does not even distribute... 2. Mailman has many more features and has a RPM package in OpenSuSE.
Why then ezmlm?!
There has been an generla discussion about this on suse-linux@suse.com one or two years ago. One of the words from a SUSE-guy was: "If we would use mailman we would need to constantly put RAM into the mailman-server. ezmlm is the best coice in our scenario". I can not really second this, because Debian, SourceForge and RedHat are using mailman and some other high traffic lists do as well. But I believe that if they say that ezmlm is the software which suits their needs at its best, what the hell ;-) What I second is the "problem" with the rpm package of ezmlm. But I think this is more a general item and should be discussed in the general mailinglist opensuse@opensuse.org, so I will set a reply2 now (if this is supported by ezmlm). bis dahin/kind regards Martin Mewes -- Welche Mailingliste zu welchem Linux? suse-linux@suse.com -> SuSE Linux debian-user-german@lists.debian.org -> Debian GNU/Linux linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org -> Linux Kernel
