even determine if this is the right software for us.
I need something for our discussion lists. (We also have announce-only
lists.)
The discussion lists ideally would have an archive that is accessible.
Also, some of our lists need to have the ability to have multiple "moderators
/ posters" who may or may not be list subscribers. For instance, we have
staff in Jerusalem & Chicago. We have mailing lists for each office, but all
staff members can post to either list. For example: A Jerusalem staff member
can send a message that only the Chicago staff will receive.
Can you point me to a demo to try or a good place to find these answers?
Mailman can do all that. There is no demo version because Mailman is a
free product. Install it and see if it does what you need it to do.
The FAQ (a link to it is at the bottom of every message on this list) can
answer a lot of your questions including some HOW-TOs and installation
guides.
