Stop Google Groups

11th post of my Stop Google serie.

What is it?

Google Groups is the nearly unmaintained mailing list system from Google. You can create your mailing lists on it and hope you won't have any issues with it because Google is not doing much about it. For instance if you register with some specific kind of email adresses, Google registers you with an other email address!

Alternatives

Mailing list managers are softwares sending and receiving emails throught SMTP and managing subscriptions (through SMTP or web interface).

• Majordomo (probably the first one that was created)
• mailman
• phpList (this is a newsletter system, only the owner can send emails compared to software like mailman where everybody can send emails to the group)
