Actually, the more I think about it, I think you should do the VAX Notes
interface. Just write a program for VMS, using any language you like, give
it a mailbox and subscribe it to the list. It'll automatically receive a
copy of all HECnet postings, and it can parse out the subject, author,
date/time, and whatever else you need, and then jam a copy into the Notes
database. It doesn't really have to integrate with the mailing list
software at all, and has the advantage that it'll work no matter where or
how this list is hosted.

I have a RedHat 9 box that I might be able to get newer python working on.

I'd be willing to volunteer to host the list using current (more or less)
Gnu Mailman software if people want to switch. If someone (Johnny??) can
send me a list of the current subscribers, I'll even automatically subscribe
them. If somebody adds an appropriate forwarding address for
hecnet at update.uu.se, we can even make the change semi-transparent.
Not only does Gnu have a digest mode (in several different formats, to
boot) but it also has a web accessible UI for subscribing AND a web
accessible archive of past messages. Yipee!!!

This plan has my vote, pipermail is useful!

This makes some send, however sending 'info' to majordomo returns that
there is an xxx-digest list. That may be a kludge, though.
If you're really talking about migrating the list, mailman is the way to
go, if you ask me. I used to co-admin the HP Linux / Omnibook list.
It probably takes longer to find a sysadmin than to set up.

Mailman is mostly written in python so that will definitely exist. :)
Interfacing with mailman is cake, especially i you know python.

Well if the box has Python on it, pretty quickly I suppose - depends on how easy it is to interface with the manager..

Mailman is NICE. I had to write some custom scripts for it back in my TJU days and it was really easy to do (other than being written in python that is). :)
