MySQL back end to Mailman?
by Chris Hedemark Feb. 3, 2002

Feb. 3, 2002

Boy is it hard doing a search for this stuff because of the infrastructural uses of both components causing their names to be archived in many totally unrelated places... A little birdy said that Mailman was going to support a MySQL back end in 2.1. Is this true? If so I can't find anything about that on the Mailman web site. Where can I learn more about this? And how close is it to being ready for general consumption? Reason I ask is I am currently building a PHP system for managing … [View More]

Listreminder without PWs
by Matthias Jaenichen Feb. 3, 2002

Feb. 3, 2002

Hi, As we have chosen to use SSL with the Mailman-Interface it would be nice to get more protection for the passwords. 1.) How can we send the list reminders without the PWs? 2.) How can we limit User- and Listadministration from WEB only (no e-mail)? 3.) What about the e-mail itself? Any ideas, how to encrypt the e-mails, so that non-list-members will not be able to read them? 4.) Certainly there are more steps to be taken to make MailMan more secure. We have already chosen QMail, … [View More]
