[COMP] Re: Admin: Test message

Thanks, I take it Listar must be installed on the server?
so its not the kind of thing I would put on my pc?

I think my new host is unix, if Listar is not written in 
perl would I need to know the path to perl to install it,
for example I found that I must install a ffa page, or a 
hits tree  by installing it on the server. ditto for the 
autoresponder I want.

So I either learn how to work with cgi/perl...or pay 
someone to install it for me.
Thanks, 
David Jr.

| -Performance: Listar's written in C, Majordomo's in perl.  
| -Security: Domo's had a lot of problems (enough that Debian simply dropped 
| it from their distribution, apparently)
| -Security2: Listar supports secure remote administration, Domo doesn't 
| (that I've noticed, anyway...)
| -Reliability: never had a problem with Listar; the one machine that I ran 
| that used Domo had problems constandly.  After switching to Listar, we 
| haven't had any trouble.
| 
| Btw, if you're looking for list-hosting, http://freelists.dhs.org is the 
| place for you.  I'll probably make a more formal announcement about it 
| later...
