It's a simple yet very complete mlm in perl. It has a mode that will run in newsletter fassion where only you (or other authorized users) can post and everyone else read. No one will be able to see anyone elses address except their own and the list address. You should be able to find minimalist on freshmeat. -- Paradise; can it be all I heard it was?
