[ale] mass email for school and school web site

[Jerald Sheets]

Would something like GNU Mailman be appropriate to your usage?  It's  
what we used to use here on the ALE list (do we still?) and you can  
setup different types of lists for different "blasts".  It also  
understands the concept of slowly trickling out the mail so it doesn't  
alert any antispam stuff.

Any of you n Comcast business using Mailman?
