Just installed mailman, like it very much. First I tried majordomo and ezmlm(I use qmail btw), but they couldn't satisfy me. The INSTALL-file explained everything nicely.
BUT, i have a question: Is there no stripped-down version that does only this:
a read-only announcements-list (to send news every week) if there is an email send to the list *there can be the subscribe-command in the subject *there can be the unsubscribe-command in the subject *the admin has a command to send an email to the subscribed people. (with a shell-command or something) *if there are any reply's, they go to the admin's mailbox *no digests, maybe an archive would be easy
NO passwords, users who see the list of subscribers etc.
How could i do this
maybe put in my ~qmail-alias/.qmail-announcelist
#(pseudo-code) |grep -i ^Subject: Subscribe|awk '{printf $3}' > subscriberlist |grep -i ^Subject: unsubscribe|awk '{printf $3}'|for i in read i;do grep -v subscriberlist>subscriberlist |mail announcelist-admin
I know I'm not much of a coder, but i don't have a lot of time to put up the list, and i don't find some things like how to disable a password.
Or does anybody know a better solution.
thanx very much&keep up the good work
