RE: [vchkpw] User-managed mailing lists in virtual hosting environment?

2004-05-20 Thread Ross Davis - DataAnywhere.net
The only problem with qmailadmin is that it does not have enough features
and you have to do a bunch of manual configuration to run a large mailing
list.  

Big things that are missing/get overwritten with any update are the welcome
messages and help revert back to default a way to black list posters digest
distribution options, such as the number of messages, size and format
Ability to block various types of mime attachments 

Don't get me wrong, it is a work in progress and I am thankful to those that
have written it, but it could use a lot of updates.

I may check that out at some point; for now, the earlier suggestion of
qmailadmin appears to be working.  I'll need to wait 'til my boss is
back to see if it "looks right", but so far, it seems to be a better fit
than ezmlm-web.

Thanks for the suggestions, folks.

Peace,
david

That doesn't complicate things, it simplifies them.  I do not want 
clients updating web files on my mail server.  You will want an instance 
of Apache running on the mail server, but don't allow anyone who is not 
a mail administrator any access to the files.

I don't know if this will be applicable in your environment, but
qmailadmin (http://www.inter7.com/qmailadmin.html) has mailing list
management functionalities.
I second that suggestion, not only does it simplify management of 
mailing lists, it also manages mailboxes, forwards, and mail robots.
The most current version is found on SourceFORGE:

If I'd be you, I'd install an apache-ssl on the mail server with access 
only to ezweb (ezmlm-idx manager, I find it nice, but I didn't ever try 
to sell it to non-technicians). I'm sorry I don't have a link, but you 
should find it easily with google though.
