Yeah. Seems there are two factors at work; 1) the lack of knowledge of
those operating the list servers about how good SmartList _can_ be (possibly
based on the bad experiences from the "abandoned" procmail and SmartList
lists), and 2) the desperate need for software to use the Web for totally
unnecessary things, simply because it's there. (Fortunately, you _can_ change
your mailman settings through email, the way the mailing list gods intended.
I don't know if the admins are aware of this, what being Web-centric and
all...)
Personally, I can't help but think the procmail and SmartList lists should
be removed from rwth-aachen.de anyway, since it's pretty obvious they have
nothing whatsoever to do with the programs anymore, anyway.
