Hi Spockstar,

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


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.

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?

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  :-o

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

Thanks
