2013-03-28 I'm not satisfied with my mailing list setup. Currently, I use minimalist [0], which is okay but not good. I like that it is acceptably small (2000 lines of perl) but it is no longer main- tained, its code is horrible, it has too many options I don't use, and it is not simple enough to use. I'd like to have some- thing very simple. I want to set up a new mailing list by adding aliases to the MTA and putting recipient addresses into one text file. This should be enough to get a working mailing list. Yesterday and today, I used my free time to hack a mailing list manager in 500 lines of sh, with some use of mmh tools. It's only a prototype yet and I don't know if I like it or not. I don't know if I like using the mmh tools. They cover the complex inter- nals of RFC 822 messages for me, that's great, gut they introduce the dependency on mmh which is a niche software project. Perhaps I should better strip down minimalist and enhance its code quali- ty instead of extending my sh+mmh hack. I don't know yet. Currently, the code is not ready to be released ...
