Description:

MailList is a mailing list daemon offering three basic services:

o Management of mailing-lists.
        The idea was taken from LISTSERV for BITNET, ListProcessor for UN*X
        and MajorDomo (Perl), to write an application that could allow you
        to manage mailing-lists under the RiscOS desktop. Provided ofcourse
        that your Archimedes is a node on the InterNet (via UUCP or TCP/IP)

o A simple mail-server.
        As a spin-off of the mailing-list I decided to also integrate a
        simple mail-server robot into MailList. The mail-server robot is a
        separate service from the mailing-list. You don't need to create any
        mailing-lists to be a mail-server site and vice versa. MailList
        handles both separately.

o A (very) simple scheduler.
        Mail and news articles can be scheduled to be sent out at a give
        date and interval. This is useful for regular postings (FAQ) or
        birthday greetings, etc.
