Mailman and Exim

[manny2008]

I am thinking about installing Mailman, does it work with Exim and does it interfere with DA?

Has anyone installed Mailman with DA?

I have a working install of Mailman 2.15 on FreeBSD. I installed it from the ports collection. You have to run the CGI scirpts under the apache account otherwise suexec will complain.

I don't think this is security issue unless you have private (member_only) archives.

I've also got mailman installed and running, i just cant get into the web interface.

How do i get the cgi running under apache?

I wish DA would support Mailman.

I guess theres not enough interest for it, otherwise they would probably do something about it.

I came across this method of using mailman and bypassing suexec by using the proxy setting in apache : http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2000-December/008358.html

That's what they told me. It's hard to imagine as so many people use "newsletter" or "broadcast" type mailing lists these days. I know about half of my customers do.

Neither mailman nor majordomo are the best solution for broadcast type lists; they're both designed for discussion lists.

We recommend "Subscribe Me Pro" to our clients, and there's also "Subscribe Me Lite" which is free; both may be found here.

Installatron doesn't offer an installable package for broadcast lists.

But if you've written a site in Mambo, you can use MaMML.
