Personally I dislike hypermail, mainly because previous versions had a
nasty tendency to dump core when an archive got above a certain size,
usually the size of the physical memory of the machine.

Interested people can puruse http://archive.humbug.org.au/howthehell/ for
how a larger public archive works.

One of these days (yeah, right) I'll actually complete a rewrite of the
site ;)
