I need to set up a couple of mailing lists. What would people recommend? I have access to a linux server, but not root access. I would like people to be able to opt themselves in / out, but would like to limit membership to one list by invite only.Is mailman the best option?
I know lots about email and majordomo, but little about mailman.I suspect you'll still need root access to setup the aliases to send email into the list in the first instance, but if you can hijack an existing email address (via a .forward file or .procmailrc ?) then you may be able to do it without root.
majordomo provides the facilities you need - invite-only is handled by closing the list, and manually editing the file of email addresses. I'd expect mailman to have these faicilities too - although I think a lot of it is web based.
