Majordomo
is a program, which automates the management of Internet
mailing lists. Commands are sent to Majordomo via
electronic mail to handle all aspects of list maintenance.
Once a list is set up, virtually all operations can
be performed remotely, requiring no intervention upon
the postmaster of the list site.
Majordomo
controls a list of addresses for some mail transport
system (like sendmail or smail) to handle. Majordomo
itself performs no mail delivery (though it has scripts
to format and archive messages).
majordomo
- n: a person who speaks, makes arrangements, or takes
charge for another. From latin "major domus"
- "master of the house".

you wish to to have it activated, email us and tell

the name of your domain. For instance if your domain

we have set up your Majordomo listserver, you can
