Hi, everyone.
Can Mailman be set-up for newsreader access ? I would like to allow users to access the mailing lists I host using a newsreader instead of the conventional e-mail method.
How complicated is it to set-up Mailman so that users can access it this way ? Will I need to configure my server for this or is the configuration restricted to the Mailman administrative interface ?
Thank you in advance of your help and replies.
Joe.

You need to create a newsgroup on an nntp server somewhere. This can be the Mailman server or not. Then you can use the list's web admin Mail<->News gateways section to configure your list to send posts to your newsgroup, and your users can read the newsgroup.

Hi, Mark.
In the case you describe the server would send posts to the newsgroups and readers would access these newsgroups to see the posts. So posts are sent to the list using each list's e-mail address and then 'copied' to the newsserver. What happens when readers wish to reply to what they read on their newsreaders ? Would they send their reply to the newsgroup or have to send their reply to the list itself using the list's e-mail address ? This part is not very clear to me.
Thank you in advance,
Joe.

Either way. Look at the settings in the web admin UI Mail<->News gateways section. You have separate controls for sending from Mailman to the news group and from the news group to Mailman.
If you enable gateway_to_mail, posts to the newsgroup will be sent to the list. If you don't enable gateway_to_mail, posts to the newsgroup will not be sent to the list.
You should be aware that if you do gate from the newsgroup to the list, posts to the newsgroup from nonmembers of the list will be accepted by the list regardless of the list's generic_nonmember_action.

Mark,
This represents a serious potential risk. One of the problems I've noticed over the years with most Usenet groups is that they tend to attract a lot of spam and non-relevants posts.
In this case, assuming I open the gate and allow posts from the Newsgroups to be posted to the list even by non-members, is there a way to have all posts from the Newsgroups set to moderation so that I get the chance to review them first before they are posted to the lists ? Assuming there is, would moderation be set only for posts coming from the Newsgroups or would it be set for all posts independent on whether they come from the Newsgroups or from e-mail ?
Thank you for your help.
Joe.

Mailman's usenet gateway is from another era. Originally, all posts arriving via the usenet gateway were exempt from member moderation and *_these_nonmembers and generic_nonmember_action actions.
This was changed in Mailman 2.1.17 per https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1252575 to apply member_moderation_action to a usenet gated post from a moderated member and to apply *_these_nonmember actions to usenet gated posts from nonmembers matching one of those filters.
This was deliberately not extended to generic_nonmember_action because it would be too disruptive to existing lists.
However, you can effectively accomplish the same thing since you can put regexp patterns in *_these_nonmembers, so if your list's generic_nonmember_action is, e.g., hold, and you also want to hold all nonmember posts that come via usenet, just put say
^.*$
in hold_these_nonmembers and every nonmember post will be held regardless of source except for those from users matching accept_these_nonmembers.
This is not completely flexible, since the *_these_nonmember tests are applied in order (accept, hold, reject, discard) to all posts from nonmembers before generic_nonmember_action, so for example, if you put ^.*$ in discard_these_nonmembers, all nonmember posts will be discarded before ever checking generic_nonmember_action.

Mark,
Since you said that newsgroups would allow non-members to post to the lists I have to assume that these newsgroups are open to the general public. Is this the case ?
Some of my lists need to be kept private and can't be opened to the public (due to privacy and confidentiality laws). Is there a way to run newsgroups while maintaining them private and not visible to the general public ?
Thank you,
Joe.

Hi, Mark.
I have thought about an alternative solution that might be simpler and more efficient (if available) than using a news server and newsgroups.
Are you aware of any Wordpress plug-in that would integrate with Mailman ? In other words, Mailman messages would be exchanged between Mailman and the Wordpress website with the aid of this plug-in so that members would have the option to read and post messages to one or more of their groups using this website instead of e-mail ?
Thank you for your help.

Edgar,
I am looking for a webforum as a second alternative to access. I have found (much to my surprise) that a large majority of users have trouble with even the simplest aspects of e-mail use despite the fact that e-mail is easy to use and technology that has been around now for several decades. I have instructed users to create subfolders in the mail clients and use filters to redirect mail from our mailing lists to these folders. They can't seem to do it and many complaint that e-mail from the mailing lists clutter their inboxes. I have also suggested that they create a second e-mail account to be used with our mailing lists but many find it either difficult or don't have the time to do it.
With this in mind I would like to create another method of access in addition to e-mail so that users have an option. I personally find e-mail one of the easiest and simplest technologies to use but I would like to accommodate those that feel differently.
I have found a few Wordpress plug-ins for Mailman but the ones I have found are just for subscription. I would like to find a plug-in that would duplicate the content of the mailing lists to a web forum on the Wordpress sites so users would have the option to use it in place of e-mail.
Thank you,
Joe.

We have the same problems. If they can't handle setting up email rules, etc, then they certainly aren't going to be able to handle setting up a newsreader.
Most of those who complain about the emails are happy to read messages via an archive. The problems start when they want to reply to a message.
A fully integrated web forum would solve the problem. Yahoo groups can be accessed via the web or by email, but had other problems I can't remember.

Google Groups might be a good alternative. I agree with Peter as well... if they have a hard time with email, they're not going to be able to manage a newsreader.

Mailman 3 is taking some steps in that direction in the HyperKitty archiver module. Also, last year I mentored a GSoC project for the Systers which involved a sort of "dashboard" for Systers resources -- where Mailman is a central resource for the Systers. Shanu implemented it as a webapp, of course. It's very much a prototype at this stage, though, and it may not ready for use by people who can't deal with email. It will definitely require a fair amount of the administrator at this point (completely unpackaged).
If you'd like to encourage Shanu, I can introduce you.

I read the HyperKitty requirements at http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/ModernArchiving, but it makes no mention of allowing replies via the archive.

That wiki page is over 4 years old and actually doesn't mention HyperKitty at all. HyperKitty was only chosen to be the initial, bundled archiver for MM 3 about 2 years ago.
You can find docs for HyperKitty at https://hyperkitty.readthedocs.org/en/latest/, although those aren't really user docs, but they link to some interesting stuff.
If you visit the demo server, you will see a list's archive has a "start a new thread" button and messages have a "reply" button. You can't actually test them without a login, but they are there.

I'm not aware of any existing plugin to mirror a Mailman list on wordpress, but you could probably implement one using an external archiver in Mailman 2.1.x. If you would also need to keep the existing, builtin pipermail archive updated, you can do both. See the FAQs at http://wiki.list.org/x/coA9 and http://wiki.list.org/x/RAKJ.
The full Mailman 3 suite is currently in beta release. See https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-announce/2014-April/000191.html>. The HyperKitty archiver that's part of that package may satisfy your requirements, but it will still be a while before ewe have a full production quality release with a 2.1 -> 3 migration path.
