Hello,
I am a college student who is working with a client for a business project. His non-profit organization currently uses LISTPROC for their mailing list AND discussion forums. He wants an alternative to LISTPROC that would do the same things only more user friendly and based on a password/username basis. These are some of the things he doesn't like about LISTPROC:

1. The syntax has to be followed very closely
2. His ideal software would be based on a username and password basis and would be transportable so that users would be able to adjust their settings themselves.
3. He complains that LISTPROC is entirely email based

Is there any alternative mailing list/discussion forum software that would be a good fit for my client? I can't seem to find any...I must be looking in the wrong places. The software should have maling list AND discussion forum capabilities. Can anyone please help me??

Thank you

Discussion forum? Listproc? No, it might be good discussion list software but I'd like to see an example of it supporting a discussion forum.

There might be a half dozen alternatives that handle mailing and discussion lists, partly the choice is dictated by the host operating system. http://www.list.org/ is a starting point.
