Re: [Mailman-Users] Can Mailman be installed on a free python webhost?

Sorry Stephen, I sent just to you, not the group. ----- Original Message ----- From: R. Sheng-Chieh Cheng Sent: 12/01/13 09:05 PM To: Stephen J. Turnbull Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] Can Mailman be installed on a free python webhost?
Stephen & Mark, thank you for replying.
With all the hack and permission's problem, I decided not to try to install Mailman anywhere. I am not a geek and know no python, so I am not going to start.
I am confused. I believe there are free webhosting services that > offer Mailman as one of their services.[1] If you're not interested > in programming Python, maybe you could use one of those. I will check out free Mailman host(s). If you have any recommendation, I would appreciate hearing. > If you really need to restrict yourself to the "web" services of the > host, I'm afraid you probably have to give up on having a featureful > mailing list manager, and should consider using a web forum instead. I am doing dual strategy - looking at forums as well as mailing lists. FluxBB looks good for our needs - email subscription. The trouble is the people in this group (former patrons of a therapetic swimming pool - alot of seniors) are not tech-savvy. Let make this way - here's their computer level. I know where the power button. I know that slot is a media drive, not a cup holder. Hmmm. For email, I double-click this icon. Use it to read and write stuffs. I really want to get the group on mailing list than a forum - so much easier for them. Hard to teach an old dog a new trick. Sheng-Chieh

Not free, but if you can afford $35 per year. Do not mind Mailman via cPanel (there are slight differences...) and can live with a strict 1,000 email per hour limit. For example, a discusion list with 100 members (assuming none are on digest) will hit the limit at 10 posts in one hour. Then check out the 'Tiny' package at A Small Orange http://asmallorange.com/hosting/
Very limited space for archives but should suffice for a text only list. They have larger plans with more space / bandwidth for more money but those also have the same 1,000 emails per hour limit.
