Ruby chaps,

excuse the noise, but I have been wandering the web with little  
success. Does anyone have experience of implementing or deploying an  
existing implementation of a mailing list management system in Ruby?  
Something that is approaching, if not at, enterprise readiness, that  
can tie into external AuthN silos, e.g., LDAP, and can provision  
mailing list ids from external sources, e.g., LDAP?

If there is something out there, we would like to look at it with the  
expectation of helping to support and extend it, rather than pay money  
to companies for peddling antiquated rubbish. However, I have not  
found much for Ruby. Py, yes, Ruby, no…

Thanks, in advance,  
Sean Mehan
