Smartlist is used by the Debian organization to manage all of their email lists. Follow the links regarding lists at http://www.debian.org. You really shouldn't need choplist if you're using qmail or postfix, though. They're much better suited for large volumes of mail. Also, wasn't there an email server out there called zmailer or something? Ah, yes. Here it is: Package: zmailer Priority: extra Section: mail Installed-Size: 3096 Maintainer: Hector Garcia <hector at debian.org> Architecture: i386 Version: 2.99.55-1 Provides: mail-transport-agent Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.3-7), libdb2 (>= 2:2.7.7-4), libgdbmg1, netbase Suggests: mail-reader, metamail Conflicts: mail-transport-agent Filename: pool/main/z/zmailer/zmailer_2.99.55-1_i386.deb Size: 1130140 MD5sum: 6dec14e51b37d3151712ded9c3cd58fd Description: Mailer for Extreme Performance Demands This is a package that implements an internet Message Transfer Agent called ZMailer. It is intended for gateways or mail servers or other large site environments that have extreme demands on the abilities of the mailer. It was motivated by the problems of the Sendmail design in such situations. ZMailer is one of the mailers able to deal with huge quantities of mail and is more efficient any other mailer, qmail included, mostly due to its excellent queueing algorithms. . Most users don't need this package -- for most users, sendmail or exim or smail will suffice. -- Chad Walstrom <chewie at wookimus.net> | a.k.a. ^chewie http://www.wookimus.net/ | s.k.a. gunnarr Key fingerprint = B4AB D627 9CBD 687E 7A31 1950 0CC7 0B18 206C 5AFD -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
