RE: Listserv software for the AS/400

What would it take to convince David@midrange.com to move the Midrange-L
list server to an AS/400?  (Or is he already on an AS/400?

Mailing Lists and More -- it has bothered me from day one that IGNITe/400
started out as a mailing list run on a PC! Up until April 30, 2000
IGNITe/400 was running its mailing list using ARROW, a PC based list server
that used the IBM SMTP server to send mail. As tends to be the case, the
list was not as reliable as a native AS/400 based solution. We looked at one
AS/400 based solution, but it lacked the features we needed like complete
mail based subscribe/unsubscribe support and the ability to support daily,
weekly, or monthly digests (lists of messages stored and transmitted as one
message) instead of the full feed that some of our list members had come to
prefer. We were extremely disappointed with ARROW when the vendor upgraded
the product and the archive manager we had been using ceased to function.

CommuniGate provides a listserver as an integral part of the product. YUP,
its built-in. It is every bit as powerful as the infamous UNIX based
MajorDomo listserver! CommuniGate Pro can do anything you can possibly
imagine that a list server could and should do plus more!

The software Ignite/400 uses is called Communigate Pro and I think the 
web site is www.stalker.com
