<p class="MsoNormal">After months of fiddling with the list software, mail server, and<br>
settings, I'm about to give up on our current platform. For reasons I<br>
have not been able to pin down, some members keep getting locked out of<br>
one or more lists. <br>
<br>
Indeed, SMZ, for some reason, seems to be the list that has the least<br>
amount of trouble, so I'm posting this message to it, rather than ipg-<br>
l, which is its more natural home. <br>
<br>
I still believe a mailing list is the best way to go, it's just that<br>
our current setup is Not doing the job.<br>
<br>
If anyone has any suggestions on how to replace it, I'd love to hear<br>
them. I have some ideas of my own, but I'd like to hear from you.<br>
