Moving to mailman-users, be a better place to post a request for experience.
Please respect cross-posting restrictions. If you're just reporting experience, reply-to is set to Mailman-Users which is appropriate (at least, IIRC the Mailman Users/Developers lists don't mess with preexisting Reply-To). If you have patched Mailman to make it work better in this kind of application, you *may* wish to move the conversation back to Mailman Developers to propose inclusin in a future version of Mailman. (If you just want to say "hey I have a patch", I would leave that on -Users, FWIW YMMV.) bill.co...@unh.edu writes: > We will be retiring our Blackboard system (an e-learning portal) > which offered users 'organizations'; basically a combination of > group sharing of documents and collaboration via email. > > I can't begin to duplicate all of the functionality of this part > of Blackboard, but I figured if I could link our school's Box > cloud storage with our new Mailman v2 installation, that would go > a long ways to provide a similar service. > > The idea is that for every Mailman list created, a new Box shared > folder would also be created and associated with that list.
