The Mailing List Software Inventory

This document, which describes a wide number of mailing-list management software (MLM), is aimed at users (trying to unsubscribe from a list :) but also for administrators looking for technical solutions.The inventory is mainly based on information collected for Francopholistes, a mailing-list directory maintained by the CRU (the french Academic Comity for Networking).

If you know any other MLM software, please contact us : admin-list@cru.fr
