You may even want to write your own MLM, in which case we'll add an entry to this list :-). Almanac, BMW, Majordomo, MReply, SmartList, and TULP come with source that's free to modify. ListProc 6.0c comes with source, but there are restrictions on what you can modify, AND you're not allowed to distribute your changes -- this means that, except for bug fixes released by its author, the free version of ListProc will develop no further. CREN ListProc, LISTSERV, Mailbase, Mercury MAISER, MX, and Smof come as binaries only, although ListProc, LISTSERV, and Mailbase each include strategic hooks for shell scripts, allowing you to modify the system's behavior. Of the systems for which you get source code, Almanac, ListProc 6.0c, MReply, and TULP are written in C (with some shell scripts in ListProc and one optional Perl script in TULP), BMW and Majordomo are written in Perl (one C routine in Majordomo), and SmartList is written in a mixture of C, shell scripts, and Procmail's rule-processing language, and IDG is written in the Korn shell.
