The customization I had to do to keep the mailing list secure from spammers was agonizing -- an enormous amount of effort was involved. Now, thanks to Lyris Technologies, all my "wish list" -- and more -- is a reality, and in one place -- including high security for the distribution list and automatically deleting bad addresses (another major time sink for me).
It took several weeks to get things moved over: when I told Lyris how big my distribution was, they asked me to hold off for a bit -- they needed to upgrade their servers to handle the load! But the transition is complete, and I'm happy to say goodbye to Netcom.
