Eric,
I only use the qmailadmin to manage these list but it would be nice to
have a better interface. Can I migrate my existing list to mailman easily?

My only issue is that this particular user is a Windows user and
would never be able to use CLI The web interface or client
application (like t-bird, etc.) is a must. Does EZMLM have a web
interface? I remember seeing the mailing list option in
Qmailadmin, but when I looked yesterday I didn't see it.
Only what's available in qmailadmin. As Jake alluded to, you'll need
to trust your client will only do what's needed there, as you'll need
to give them postmaster authority.
I remembered where it is and will investigate further. I only have
one client that wants to do this and it's not that pressing that he
have this option. It would be nice for me to know how for general
knowledge, but it's not a (to quote Tina Fey) dealbreaker. Is one
more secure than the other?
Not that I'm aware of.
Thanks for all your help as always!
Sure.
BL, if ezmlm is suitable, use it. It's already there and ready to go.
If your client needs a simpler or more extensive interface for
managing lists, I'd go with mailman.
Have a great Thanksgiving.

I am not sure EZMLM would work anyways. From what I read it needs
you to subscribe to a list. This customer wants simply to send
100 e mails at one time. Which would be appropriate? It sounds
to me like EZMLM is for lists, like this one. Am I interpreting
this correctly?
ezmlm is ezmlm. Qmailtoaster does not do anything special for it,
so any documents you read on ezmlm will apply.
You can manually add users to the mailing list without going
through the whole subscribe process. In qmailadmin, click mailing
lists, create one, and then click add subscribers. Add a user. The
user does not receive any confirmation emails. Then send a message
to that mailing list and the user will then get it.
You will need to give the user access to qmailadmin however, so
they can manage the list easily. There are also "commands" you can
send to the list to do the same functions, but unless you're really
savvy then this can be very difficult (for example, send an email to
List-Help: <mailto:qmailtoaster-list-h...@qmailtoaster.com>
and see what you get back)
If you need to bulk import addresses, then I have a writeup on the
wiki on how to do that from the CLI. There are some other web based
admin utils for controlling ezmlm or giving admin access to lists
to certain users, but I have not investigated any of these
solutions myself.
As Eric mentioned, mailman may also be a source. I find ezmlm
easier to setup and manage in general, but if you can convince your
user to only go into certain tabs in mailman then it may be a
better choice for non-technical users.
I don't know what Jake's talking about regarding certain tabs in
mailman. Mailman has a pretty extensive security model. You can
assign list ownership to the user, and then they can control the
list in whatever way they like using the provided web interface. The
biggest drawback I know of with mailman is a moderate learning
curve, as there are a lot of options. As always though, you don't
get something for nothing.
