Problem with Google Mail and Ubuntu

[Piper]

Is it on-topic to discuss how we would like Evolution-Express types of email 
SW to be improved?

I would like an autoresponder under the list name so that by using a 
"reflector expression", anybody on the list would be sending the posting 
back out to all on the list.

example 1) "ABC List" in the subject line and if anybody on ABC in the 
Address Book replies, it goes out to all the others on ABC.

example 2) automated sub-unsub so that anybody on ABC can automatically 
sub/unsub.

The ISPs have NO reason to object. This kind of SW is only the business of 
the client. It is PRIVATE listerver SW and not a PUBLIC listserver.
