The two email management tools in use were phplist and Mailman: |

Of the replies received there was wide disagreement over which actions and tools were available which suggests a training issue. However, research on the system shows that most tools are available. Reporting was rated OK. |

Mailman |
| |
| Mailman, available from Greennet provides email discussion and e-newsletter list management. Reportedly easy to use, requiring little technical skills and low fixed cost. Does not have template manager or allow personalisation. Otherwise most tools are available and reporting rated OK. |
