Hm, I wonder, what is it you guys are missing in list software today
that is better solved by having something integrated with (or merged
into) Exim? I'm kind of curious, because I have had Mailman and Exim
teaming together for quite some time now, and I fail to see any
obvious reason for doing it differently. So please tell me, what is
your catch in this?
