Re: Recommended mailing list manager for CentOS 5.6

Mailman is probably what you want to use, because anyone who subscribes to any amount of mailing lists knows exactly how to use Mailman and it's features.

Mailman is kind of the defacto standard list manager these days, indeed,
this centos list is managed by it.

the project site is  http://www.list.org/ with the documentation and such.

its in the EL5 and I assume EL6 standard repositories, so...

    yum install mailman

suffices to install it and set it up.  it uses a service called,
naturally, mailman

    chkconfig mailman on
    service mailman start

except I think the installation does this automatically.

oddly, In the rhel/centos install, all the management tools are in
/usr/lib/mailman/bin/ which isn't in the normal path, but you only need
these to create new lists and such, pretty much everything else is done
through a simple web interface..

the web interface for users and list moderators will default to
http://yourhost.domain.com/mailman/listinfo  if you don't dink around
with vhost records.
