I have been an EMParrot user for some time. I use it for managing the email for my extended family. I have dozens of cousins, so EMParrot has been a great way to manage all the communications traffic. With this long list of participants, sending email used to be a challenge, with changing addresses, new members and the occasional user getting hacked and spamming everyone. Now, with the ability to contact anyone 1-on-1 through EMParrot, we can send personal messages without having to find specific addresses and without the worry of corrupt messages. I recommend EMParrot to anyone who has a long list of people to connect.
The Right Call, Handled Badly: The DreamHost Mailman Shutdown
DreamHost recently announced they are shutting down their hosted Mailman service. If you run a mailing list there, you have until July 31 to figure out where to go.
The announcement landed badly. Community forums and Reddit threads filled up quickly – not just with people asking what to do next, but with people who were genuinely angry. And the anger has been spilling over into broader conversations about DreamHost as a company.
