Hi Mailman Developers.
Considering the recent debate on this list regarding the possible uses and usefulness of an encrypted Mailman mailing list, I tried to look for orgs / groups that already use or are looking for an encrypted mailing list. To see what they use / what would they like to use / what required features they need / what nice to haves they might want.
My first idea was Tor Project's private mailing lists, they have a few security / organization related lists that are private 1.
They noted my idea was similar to Schleuder, which they started using just recently 2.
I had few other people message me, most use Schleuder 3 and one use of custom patched Sympa installation 4:
We have a project based on Sympa to integrate PGP support, the backend is completed and we still have some frontend parts open. We started with the project some time ago out of frustration of schleuder and the lack of the userinterface. We choose Sympa because of the high performance mail processing, however, the frontend is not very nice
I think that an organization such as the Tor Project, with their high security requirements, using encrypted mailing lists means that the interest in encrypted mailing lists is well-founded.
(and responses)Cheers,
Jan
