The Lyris package (http://www.lyris.com) mentions a few points which may
make it more attractive to users. First, it purports to automatically
archive AND index all messages, which are full text searchable by use of
boolean operators via a web interface. My impression is that the archiving
features of other packages are more difficult to use, at least for the
average user with limited sophistication, and are perhaps more accessible
due to the search engine built in. It also seems to me that perhaps the
great influx of newbies to lists would stir up less extraneous admin
traffic if the user-configuration options of the web interface (point and
click) works as claimed.
Are these features which other admins would value greatly?
I currently use Majordomo, but am looking at Listserv and Lyris. Also
curious about Smartlist.
Thanks.
