Sorry, I didn't see your question early enough to answer it; all mail to
<nobaloney.net> bounced around the net for a few days (don't ask, but my
hair is now totally grey <wry grin>).

The "folks" at Cobalt told me in no uncertain terms that the Cobalt
implementation of Majordomo was set up to be used by their system, and
that if I wanted to host lists for my customers I'd do better installing
my own mailing list program.  This was over a year ago, when I asked the
question as a pre-sale support question, concerning my rental of a RaQ2.

I did it my way (with apologies to Frank Sinatra).  I installed a new
copy of Majordomo.  I've NOT taken the time to make this into a package,
and probably won't.  But I do offer the installation of a completely
separate copy of Majordomo, with all the Majordomo features, including
all the documentation and most source, on your RaQ as a service.

Call or write me if you're interested.
