The is a middle ground...you don't get ALL the "real" majordomo functions,
since Cobalt screwed up the way majordomo works on a RaQ(More of their
unmitigated gall in creating servers for washing machine owners, replete
with mindless GUI and off-the-wall bastardizations).

But, as I recall, you aren't allowing your clients to administer their
sites...and the smartlist wouldn't show up in the GUI?

If someone were real creative, they'd figure out how to change the
tortured "Cobalt Way" to allow the System administer to choose which
mailing list software they'd like....install it in a standard way.

Not that the Blue Box Vendor would ever do such a thing.
