[BlueOnyx:06843] Re: better majordomo GUI?

[Roy Urick]

Yes, its in-house only, but still has a public facing. 

 

We use it as a distro for our inter-office emails, group emails, etc.  (eg,
email all branch managers, email all users at a single site, receive email
from vendors on a generic mailbox where the message needs to hit multiple
internal users, etc)  

 

Honestly, if there were a way to rip the display interface out of the raq4
and plop it into the BO, you couldn't get much more perfect for us.

bar is VERY high)

If this is an in-house box, take a look at webmin. I don't know if it will
do everything that you want, but it is a good tool to have.
