Does installing MajorCool increase the functionality of the Cobalt
Majordomo? Does it break the gui? I need to be able to have a one way list
and have not been able to figure it out the Cobalt way. Any ideas?

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.
