Right now, I'm using mailman as a list server.

What are other people using?

I just tried gaggle.email, which lives on their cloud server. Its
heavy-handed interpretation of DKIM rewrites each and every From header
without recourse. From is changed to the list-posting address. There is
a sub-address option that will create a sub-address under the
list-posting address unique to the author.

I don't want From rewritten under any circumstances.

Also, messages are sent as multipart with alternative part attachment. I
couldn't see a way to send plain text. And the .sigfile with list
management information appears to be mandatory.

I'm not looking for services that don't allow the list owner to add a
subscriber, allowing the list owner to invite someone. These aren't
general discussion lists nor opt-in marketing lists.

Just wondering what alternatives there are to mailman right now.

I think perhaps you should look at other mail providers. I think that
maybe there is where you will find the bigger difference?

I use infomaniak.com for my email and I'm a happy customer. I think they
have mailinglists as well and are very open source oriented.

Gentoo lists use smartlists if I'm not mistaken. When I was attending
college at Ecole Centrale Paris we used sympa for our mailing lists.
I use neither smartlists nor sympa as an admin today. I don't know
whether the software is well maintained today. So don't blame me.

Ah. That uses procmail, which I haven't used in a long time. Thanks.
