Mailman is free software for managing electronic mail discussion and e-newsletter lists
==Mailman==
===Description===
Mailman is free software for managing electronic mail discussion and e-newsletter lists. Mailman is integrated with the web, making it easy for users to manage their accounts and for list owners to administer their lists. Mailman supports built-in archiving, automatic bounce processing, content filtering, digest delivery, spam filters, and more.
Thanks to Gordon Rowell for developing the rpms.
=== Installation ===
wget http://www.gormand.com.au/smeserver/WIP/smeserver-mailman/smeserver-mailman-1.3.0-14.noarch.rpm
wget http://www.gormand.com.au/smeserver/WIP/smeserver-mailman/mailman-2.1.5.1-34.rhel4.3sme01.i386.rpm
yum localinstall mailman-2.1.5.1-34.rhel4.3sme01.i386.rpm smeserver-mailman-1.3.0-14.noarch.rpm
You should now see a Mailman section under the Configuration section of the server-manager.
=== Configuration ===
==== File locations ====
/var/lib/mailman location of mailman lists and archives
/usr/lib/mailman location of mailman program files
/usr/lib/mailman/aliases location of qmail alias files
==== Creating lists ====
Go to http://domain.name/mailman to create new lists.
If your SMEServer has multiple domains configured, do not prepend www. before the virtual domain.
For example: go to http:// virtualdomain.name/mailman to create lists for that domain name.
==== Command line options ====
You can do a lot using the command line scripts located in /usr/lib/mailman/bin
For example
/usr/lib/mailman/bin/mmsitepass will set the master password for all lists
/usr/lib/mailman/bin/list-members [listname] will list the members of [listname]
running the script with --help will display the options available
