Does anyone know of an open source e-mail list manager for publishing an e-zine or newsletter? If this is the wrong list, a pointer would be greatly appreciated. TIA John

Would Joomla fit the bill? http://joomla.co.uk/ I don't know if that's the actual home page but if not it should have the link to it. -- ============================================== I am only human, please forgive me if I make a mistake it is not deliberate. ============================================== Xmas may be over but, PLEASE DON'T drink and drive you'll make it to the next one that way.

Depending on your MTA try: Mailman - for postfix, sendmail or exim (you probably already have it) Majordomo - for sendmail Ezmlm - (my favorite) for qmail search on any of those for more info. Regis

That would be my choice. Ah, in fact that IS my choice.

I've always thought ezmlm to be cumbersome for the end-user. For instance, I tend to receive mailing-list mail on one address and post from another. (all mailing-list mail is fed into a news-server here). ezmlm makes it possible, but it's not exactly straight forward. One major thing about mailman that I find attractive is the webinterface which can be customized and fitted into webpages etc. Very neat. So I'm curious - why is ezmlm your favourite? /Per Jessen, Zürich -- http://www.spamchek.com/ - managed anti-spam and anti-virus solution.

It's the one SuSE uses for these lists, for instance. But I think that at the time the decision was made, mailman was not mature. I read once that first they chose ezmlm (the best, they said - at least then), thus they had to also to use qmail - not the other way round ;-) - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFDxPgotTMYHG2NR9URAmE/AJ91EjoET2TDLd1cluX6J9cmMt+19ACglp7P NmeoFpLYwee89ZNUup5zay4= =hI0M -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I guess just familiarity. You're probably right about it not being straight forward. qmail was the mail server I spent the most time with, so I guess I just got used to Bernstein quirkiness. Perhaps more accurately my comment should have been qmail/ezmlm was my favorite server/list manager combination. Regis Matejcik

www.OCLUG.ORG uses Majordomo for our list on an old pII. If you need directions contact Kevin on our list. -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/

You're probably looking for something like PHPList (http://tincan.co.uk). If your webhost is running the Fantastico package of scripts, it is included in that. -- Pob hwyl / Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.kyfieithu.co.uk - Meddalwedd Rhydd yn Gymraeg www.cymrux.org.uk - Linux Cymraeg ar un CD
