Ecartis (fomerly known as Listar) is a mailing
list management program. It has a lot of
similarities to Listserv (which was one of its
inspirations), but has been written from scratch
to support the features and abilities that the
authors felt were lacking (or hard to
modify/change) in some of the other list
management programs available. Its main
flexibility is that it is written around a plugin
layer (similar to Apache), which allows you to
customize and extend the manager in ways that
otherwise would be hard.
