I just checked the mailman package when I put Mandrake Linux on my system. You can, on a mandrake box, just do: Daniel J McDonald, CCIE #2495 Austin Network Design http://www.austinnetworkdesign.com
Daniel,
I see you are a fellow Texan. I used to own the Graham Dorian Auction Company (computer liquidations) in Dallas. It's nice to see a fellow Texan here.
I currently have a bunch of groups on Yahoo that I hope to convert to Mailman and like Arvinda, I don't have a clue where to begin. I also understand that I will need an external archiver to handle the archving I want to do.
I want my archived messages first by major topics? for example -- there will be a biker group. I would want the archive of all the messages broken down first my topics similar to the ones below. In other words -- if you click on Chassis Design-- every single post from day one on the topic of Chassis design will fall here -- and then can be sorted by subject line, date. or author.
Such as:
Chassis design
Chassis fabrication
Engine building
Wiring
Painting
Tires
Regulations
Hot Biker Chicks
All of my lists are how-to related and no one wants to dig back through 100,000 posts by the date looking for subjects. I realize you can do a search for a particular subject -- but it would be a lot cleaner if we could do it this way.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a way to do the archiving?
I would also like for the archives to look more like an online forum -- something like this:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/index.php
How difficult is it to get mailman into a form like vbulletin? Or am I just asking for too much?
And BTW, are there any antique car or antique aircraft guys out there who would want to help set up related groups?
Thanks,
Terry Cowan http://www.metalshapers.org/
