Greetings all,
I'm brand new to this list but not brand new to using Mailman.
Over a year ago I started a woodworking list that utilized Mailman 1.1 and only recently did my ISP pull the plug on it and left me and 320 of my members stranded. Accordingly, I pulled out of that ISP and went to another but they don't use Mailman...yet. However, just this morning I thought of another option.
Suppose I installed the Mailman the software on my computer here in my office and RX'd and TX'd the posts from here instead of having my ISP provide it. Is this doable?
What do I need, in addition to the Python programming language?
Is there somewhere I can go to find out this information.
TIA,

First of all, is your computer online 24h so it can receive and process the list posts? If not, you need to use some kind of BSMTP like mail feature at your ISP... also, are you are running a unix server? At this moment it's not possible to run Mailman under windows. Anyway, besides Python, mailman also needs a local MTA (mail transfer agent) like sendmail, postfix, exim, qmail or others to deliver the mail.
Ricardo.
