Is another alternative to use existing mail server software and host
it??
Mailman is the defacto:
http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/index.html
The downside is it isn't written in Euphoria.
But we would have all other benefits.

I've never heard of Majordomo ...
does it have a web interface?
is it advertiser supported?
I'm sure if majordomo had similar functionality as Topica many people
would be willing to subscribe and give it a test for a few months.
Still keep Topica up and running ... just let some of the hard code
eu users give the alternative(s) a pounding!
If it doesn't work out ... nothing is lost.

Just a suggestion but somebody could write a UI to handle the details.
Could even have a dropdown list to specify the subject (e.g. add prefix
[WIN], [DOS], [LIN], [GEN], etc. to subject line.)
