[»] grandfather, consuming relatively much memory
by hurrikane - Aug 5th 2005 09:19:09

After some months using mailman I switched to Mailgust, which does not consume that much memory and excels with functions like build-in search, forum-like archive and some more. You can view a fresh installation here.

[»] GNU Mailman
by Thomas M. - May 11th 2005 06:45:57

Majordomo now seems clumsy and difficult to manage. GNU Mailman is a nice alternative. It is popular, fast, easy to use and most importantly it's focused on the end user. Mailman automatically provides a customizable home page for each mailing list. Users can subscribe and unsubscribe themselves as well as changing list preferences. For admins it offers a web based frontend that makes managing any number of lists very easy. Mailman can archive all list traffic and provide a Web frontend to browsing and searching messages. I am really looking forward to version 3. Tom

    Certainly fairly consistent messages about the product: no dissenters out there before I give it a try? It all looks suspisciously positive BozMo

    > Highly recommended!
    Does the email discussion lists have the ability to show it's discussion on a web page? and can there be a login required, or do we have to build a login ourselves? We have a RSS authority site and want to either bring our discussion out in the open or have it behind a required login, we have not decided yet. We may be a little behind the scenes on our web capibilities but we are trying.

by fester - Aug 28th 2002 16:45:24

This is a great piece of software. My only wish is for a way to generate stats from the archives (Top subjects, top posters, etc.) If I had the programming skills I would write it myself :)

    I have written such program, see MailListStat here on freshmeat. It's easily configurable (in new version - which will be available in few days) to work with mailman and other mailing list managers. It supports many languages, text or HTML output, graphs and more...

      Thanks for point that out, your software is just what I needed.

Certainly not enough praise listed here for Mailman. This is definitely the coolest list manager of all, bar none. The configuration of it is a little scarey to a novice, but if you follow the directions and make sure you ./configure using the appropriate --with-mail-gid and --with-cgi-gid values, you'll be sailin in no time.

I've been running it on my site for months now. After trying at least half a dozen other list managers, I stopped looking with Mailman.

[»] The `other' Mailman

We know about this product, but it's not a mailing list manager, so we're not worried about it.

Endymion Corp. is selling a product called Mailman. I would consider renaming your project.
