Hello,
I am curious whether Mailman will work on Solaris, and how best to integrate it with our current web site. Our school maintains an informational website at www.stfrancishighschool.com, hosted by IgLou in Louisville. We have been discussing with a few alumni the possibility of creating mailing lists for the alums, and Mailman seems like a good solution. We have also looked into Majordomo, which IgLou will administer for additional monthly charges. We would like to save money.
Can Mailman be installed alongside our website? In other words, is it self contained? Can its bin and lib files, for example, be installed in our web directory, and still allow Mailman to function?
What you are asking is exactly what I am planning on doing here. We have a mail server (Solaris 8 box) which is currently being used as mailman's website. What we are going to do is to NFS mount the mailman directory in our webserver (a Solaris 9 box) so it can be accessed there. Probably, the best way to do it is kinda like what you infered: install mailman in the webserver and then automount the data directories. I'll be playing with that and keep you all posted with my adventures.
Our other possible solution is to host the mailing lists on one of our own Linux servers, if the app cannot be installed on our host's server. Since we run Exchange Server, I am trying to simplify matters by hosting the mailing lists offsite, though.
Thanks for your help.
