• Mailing list server

    From Adam H. Kerman@21:1/5 to All on Wed Aug 21 21:37:09 2024
    Right now, I'm using mailman as a list server.

    What are other people using?

    I just tried gaggle.email, which lives on their cloud server. Its
    heavy-handed interpretation of DKIM rewrites each and every From header
    without recourse. From is changed to the list-posting address. There is
    a sub-address option that will create a sub-address under the
    list-posting address unique to the author.

    I don't want From rewritten under any circumstances.

    Also, messages are sent as multipart with alternative part attachment. I couldn't see a way to send plain text. And the .sigfile with list
    management information appears to be mandatory.

    I'm not looking for services that don't allow the list owner to add a subscriber, allowing the list owner to invite someone. These aren't
    general discussion lists nor opt-in marketing lists.

    Just wondering what alternatives there are to mailman right now.

    I think perhaps you should look at other mail providers. I think that
    maybe there is where you will find the bigger difference?

    I use infomaniak.com for my email and I'm a happy customer. I think they
    have mailinglists as well and are very open source oriented.

    Gentoo lists use smartlists if I'm not mistaken. When I was attending
    college at Ecole Centrale Paris we used sympa for our mailing lists.
    I use neither smartlists nor sympa as an admin today. I don't know
    whether the software is well maintained today. So don't blame me.

    Ah. That uses procmail, which I haven't used in a long time. Thanks.
