alternatative to Mailman
in [Postfix]
|
From: Mauro Faccenda on 19 Mar 2010 07:50 Hi there, I know this isn't exactly a Postfix question, but as postfix's administrators the users of this list probably can answer the question. Does anyone can recommend any good alternative to Mailman as a Mailing Lists Manager that plugs well with Postfix? My only problem with Mailman is that I can't have two lists with the same 'mailbox' (the part before the @) in different virtual domains (i.e. support(a)company.com and support(a)anothercompany.com), and this is mandatory in my setup. I know there is some patches that enables that functionality, but they are quite old and doesn't work well in actual versions of Mailman. I need a web management interface, so the managers of each list can do all the tasks they need. Email interface is OK, but since the users are not exactly technical experts, a web interface is better. And a Brazilian Portuguese translation is another plus. On Postfix add-ons page I could see some, but I never heard about them (besides majordomo and Mailman). Thanks in advance, Mauro

From: Mauro Faccenda on 19 Mar 2010 10:08 Hi Marc, Thanks for your suggestion: I'll take a look at it. Last time I used majordomo was in the 90's, I don't know if there is a web interface. Can you tell me if there is a official one? Or can you recommend another software to ease the management? Again, thanks. Mauro On Fri, Mar 19, 2010 at 10:53 AM, Marc G.

MJ2 has a web interface (more cluttered than mailmain, but quite powerful and, I can say from experience, quite usable by my users) and a shell interface if you have ssh access to the machine where mj2 runs. I've been using it for years, it works great. It does have migration tools so it's relatively straightforward to switch from mj1. R's, John

Thanks John, With that words said, definitively I'll give it a try.
