	Having used both, let me compare them:

Majordomo -- Initially hard to configure, and hard to maintain.  A lot of
the times you will get cryptic error messages, and have to do some digging
to find out what they really mean.  Sometimes your lists will break, for no
reason I found apparent.  Hard to create new lists too.  HOWEVER -- It is
very powerful, and popular.

Petidomo -- From the point where I downloaded the source, installation was
a breeze.  It supports multiple lists, but (from what I hear) isn't as
powerful or accepted as Majordomo.  Has a CGI Web-admin tool BUILT IN, and
easy to create new lists.

Personally I prefer Petidomo.  Much easier to install/use.

Cheers!
