I don't use any mailing list program like majordomo, rather I store addresses in a text file, and then to send a message I open a pipe to sendmail, using Perl, for each email address. Inefficient but it works for now. My lists are fairly small (in the hundreds), but I'm starting to be bothered by bounces. What would the most efficient way be to handle them automatically? Also, I originally looked at Majordomo and some other possible solutions, but it didn't seem worthwhile, since I don't have lists that people post to, just newsletter-type emails that I send out. Is there a simple and effective mailing list solution that I should move to?
