Re: NFC: ADMIN - Not Yelling! :) - List Change ... ?

I would be more than happy to set up a mailing list using my webserver. The
advantages to the NFC are it would be free, have no ads, would send out rich
text (HTML MAIL) or plain text (the subscriber can choose what they want to
get) and it supports attachments for pictures and the like. I use a program
called "mailman" its a GNU/LINUX based program that is like Major Domo on
steroids. It also has a "spam eliminator" function built in to prevent web
bots from harvesting email addy's (and unlike Yahoo! it won't sell your
information) It also has a web based subscribe/unsubscribe page to make that
very simple and its admin functions are web based as well so its a simple
matter to have multiple list admins if wanted. I could have it up and
running in a day if there is interest. I already have several lists going
for other fish groups.
