Major Major mailing list

Version 1.68 of Major Major is now available from www.pmoylan.org/pages/os2/Major.html or from ftp://ftp.pmoylan.org/Major/major1.68.zip or from Hobbes incoming.
Major Major is a mailing list manager, that lets you create and manage multiple e-mail discussion lists.
(It is not spamming software, because it allows list members to unsubscribe. In any case, we retain the right to take retaliatory measures against anyone who uses it to send unwanted mail.)
The latest version has two significant changes.
1. The ability to break up outgoing mail into small batches, each for a subset of list members, to deal with deal with mail servers that do not respect the RFC rules about number of mail recipients. Making the batch limit small is inefficient, and creates a higher load on mail servers, but might be needed to deal with hostile servers.
2. An option for DMARC compatibility. DMARC is a "standard" implemented by spammer-friendly mail providers such as AOL and Yahoo, which has the side-effect of making life difficult for mailing lists. You might need this option for lists whose members are unable to receive list mail.
