Hi Spockstar,

I use EZMLM for 2 years now. I downloaded the rpm's from dungog.net (GPL)

• e-smith-ezmlm-web-1.1.1-05.noarch.rpm
• ezmlm-idx-std-0.40-2.i386.rpm
• ezmlm-web-2.1-06.i386.rpm
• perl-Ezmlm-0.03.1-1.i386.rpm
• ezmlm-manual-html.zip

You can manage the list via a server-manager panel.

Hi there...I looked at quite a few list managers and have started to spend more time with mailgust.

http://www.mailgust.org/

I just installed 2.0b and like what i see so far. Let us know what you decide on.

[spockstar]

paul_sc have you got mailgust running on e-smith 6 ??

[paul_sc]

As far as I can tell it is running fine on 6.01 updated. I have just started using it and testing.

Are you having a particular problem?

[spockstar]

no im not having a problem just looking to start a  mailing list  and  trying to get feedback on different types of software .looking at mailgust it looks to be  what im looking for. i havnt used any  type of mailing list software previously ,but im looking for  ease of setup and  admin .have you used other types of mailing list software other than mailgust ?

[paul_sc]

I did try many mail list managers from hotscripts.com and sourceforge. I used only PHP based scripts as I like the capability of PHP/Mysql and the ease of setting up php/mysql on SME. I started with mailman then ezmlm and did not find them to be right for me  

Let me know your thoughts or if you find a different solution.

Thanks
