Well it would have to be 42, wouldn't it? Just seems appropriate. :)

Seems to me that the iss-grads autoreply could be handled with some combination of a Perl script, formail and/or procmail. I doubt anyone will notice if it's MIA for a few days.

True, but if I'm going to install mail handling software just for it, I might as well keep majordomo. The first thing I'm going to try is Mailman's autoresponder, and hopefully I can turn off all the other features that would make it look like an actual mailing list. I'm referring to the thing that sends back "the list isn't here anymore" whenever people send mail to iss-grads@mit.edu.

rcorder: requirement `postfix' in file `/etc/rc.d/mailman' has no providers.
