hi dave,



The NCC is currently evaluating a new mail system, from the mta right
through to the maillist manager. The 3 choices we are looking at are:

* mailman
* ecartis
* sympa




Sympa provide various protection agaings email sniffer robot :

 - web archive access restricted to some users (in most

   case list subscribers authenticated with a password or

   using personnal X509 cert / https )



 - require a cookie for any access in web archive because

   email sniffer robot do not manage cookies.



 - (CVS version only) use a javascript to carry email and

   mailto without any "@" or "AT" string



Old archives can be rebuilded later to change html

introducing new tips for protection (exemple replacing

'@localhost by <img src="arobase.jpeg">)



Of course Sympa archive includes search engine, attachement

extraction, disk quota configuration and so on. In addition, 
authenticated users can remove their own emails from the

archive (list owners can remove any mail).
