MajorSmart

Majordomo-like frontend to SmartList

This is an effort to maintain SmartList as if it was Majordomo. Majordomo run out of competition due to its nonfreeness. If people were used to remotely maintain some mailing lists and users should be able to gather some information from the lists, this is a proper solution. Of course, this system runs on majordomo@lists.infodrom.org already.

MajorSmart provides these commands:

• un/subscribe -- subscribe / unsubscribe
• who -- who is on the list
• which -- to which list is somebody subscribed to
• help -- a comprehensive help
• lists -- list of available lists
• approve -- commands for the listmaster
