lightly maintained is a better way to put it. 1.94.5 was just released a
little while ago, and fixed a number of issues in the rather old 1.94.4
release. most of the effort for majordomo is going into 2.0 right now,
which is being fairly agressively developed -- but it's a complete
replacement, and a substantial redesign, which is taking some time.
i'm using majordomo 1.94.5 w/exim 3.15, it's working fairly well, but then,
i've been using majordomo since 1.92 (which was years and years ago.) the
pain of switching to another would be pretty severe, especially since i've
got a few thousand subscribers trained in majordomo now.
