   If you want Bang-for-the-Buck, use SmartList.  Procmail-based, and thus
   completely written in C, and because it is procmail rule-based, it is
   infinitely customizable.  I have run MajorDomo, and ListServ-based lists
   in the past, but I much prefer the completely free SmartList package
   and would never even consider switching back.

What is are the copyright and distribution terms on SmartList?
