Odd hypocrisy? Should I switch away from SmartList?
This may be an old topic, since I remember another list member telling me something in private about this a while back. It might even be a FAQ, but I didn't see it the 2 I checked online. Does anyone find it odd/hypocritical that the SmartList list is being run and processed by Mailman? Look in the headers of this or any other message. You'll see these lines, among others: List-subscribe: <http://MailMan.RWTH-Aachen.DE/mailman/listinfo/smartlist> X-mailman-version: 2.0.5 Seems a bit strange... I've been hearing good things about Mailman for a while, and had it recommended by some friends. This, however, seems to be the highest praise going. So what's the deal? Should I consider migrating all my lists over to Mailman and stop using SmartList? Is there some reason (besides inertia) to keep using it?

I find it very odd. However, the owner of the list hosting site (which includes a number of other lists; as I understand it, Smartlist is by no means his primary concern) decided to move to Mailman; and since that list site is in a lot of extant documentation (not to mention there being some paucity of offers to host elsewhere), we're still here.
