I found one ancient post in > the archives from 1997 asking about a majordomo port, but not any replies. I built mailman (just for testing, I don't use it), there were some problems with permissions of files and directories, so the soucre will need some modifications, but it should work. Majordomo should be possible too, it is 'just' a Perl program. > The general opinion appears to be that majordomo is a bear to configure with > lag problems as well. Would ssmtp be usable as the MTA?

BCNU//jle It isn't possible to build Xmail as 'native' Cygwin version, but it runs as Windows version, it is very fast. The maker of Xmail (D. Libenzi) also has a listserver in use that is 'listar', so this should work with Xmail and you can ask him at his Xmail list for help, though I don't know if 'listar' builds under Cygwin.
