GroupMAN (Group Manager) functions as a list-server program and makes it easy to create and manage both announcement mailing lists and interactive discussions on your Windows PC.

GroupMAN is unique because it's designed to work from your personal electronic- mail address, as opposed to dedicated accounts on a list server.

To use GroupMAN, you don't even need a dedicated mail server -- all you need is access to a POP3 server (which comes with virtually every Internet-access account) and some version of Windows.

Setting up GroupMAN is as easy as setting up a regular mail program. -Manage multiple lists from a single POP email account, -Unlimited Number Of Lists, Each group can maintain a file repository -Create moderated lists, announcement only lists, and general discussion lists. -Allow subscribers to have DIGEST ONLY subscriptions -Create public or private lists. -Create reminders for project management related lists. -Allow or Disallow attachments for any given list. -GroupMAN can run autonomously in the background with no user intervention. -As with most list-server software commands are requested through standard email.
