No I haven't finished MG yet, and it archive functions are a bit hosed
right now for some reason which I'm looking into.

But ya, evolt still uses it for its 5 email lists.. Its really fast,
which is nice for a large list like this is getting to be - Majordomo is
ok, but can be pretty slow to deliver messages and i a pain to set up.
If I had to recommend any other MLM' right now, it would be minordomo or
the original version of mailman - both of which are linked from that
article.. 

Good luck :)
