    Petidomo Mailing List Manager (Cybersolutions) (top)

    Cybersolutions The Petidomo Mailing List Manager is a software package designed to host and maintain mailing lists. Petidomo can do pretty much everything one would expect from a list-server: It can maintain public mailing lists, closed lists, moderated lists, and hidden lists. But beyond that, Petidomo can also:

    • run completely PGP-encrypted mailing lists
    • run mailing lists compliant to rfc 2369
    • mirror mailing list traffic into a newsgroup and vice versa
    • automatically re-format articles posted to the list, using an external (user-written) filter
    • do extensive access control, using a powerful access control language
    • catch the infamous "unsubscribe me" postings and reject them, or redirect them to the appropriate address
    • some more things I can't think of right now. :-)

    Petidomo is a commercial program and commercial usage requires a license from Cybersolutions GmbH. All non-commercial usage, though, is free.

    Petidomo was developed on a NetBSD/i386 machine and then ported to other platforms. Binary distributions for various NetBSD platforms and versions are available. Peter Simons

    TrackSite is a comprehensive automated real-time visitor tracking and traffic analytics system for websites. A demo as well as a free edition (with reduced feature set) is available on the web site. TrackSite is cross-platform software and targets NetBSD as one of its supported platforms.
