The project is defunct for many years but legacy installations remain.
Similar for Majordomo except Majordomo being a zillion times more common
and both use X-List.  The two capitalizations X-list and X-List seem to be
similarly common.

If you haven't found an Ecartis source tarball and still want one, I've
dumped it at:

  ftp://ftp.linux-mips.org/pub/linux/mips/people/ralf/ecartis/

I'd switch anytime but don't like any of the replacements.  GNU Mailman
for example uses databases instead of ASCII files which on occasion is
a pain.
