I am curious whether Mailman will work on Solaris, and how best to integrate it with our current web site. Our school maintains an informational website at www.stfrancishighschool.com, hosted by IgLou in Louisville. We have been discussing with a few alumni the possibility of creating mailing lists for the alums, and Mailman seems like a good solution. We have also looked into Majordomo, which IgLou will administer for additional monthly charges. We would like to save money.
Can Mailman be installed alongside our website? In other words, is it self contained? Can its bin and lib files, for example, be installed in our web directory, and still allow Mailman to function?
Mailman can be installed under Solaris in your own virtual domain on your web host, but it requires (probably root) access to the shell on the server to do it and to integrate it with the web server and MTA on the host. I.e. IgLou will probably have to do it for you and will probably charge you for the installation and maybe for monthly use as well.
To see what's involved in installing Mailman, go to http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/mailman/mailman/INSTALL?only_with_tag=Release_2_1_5&view=markup
Adding to the mess, I am running mailman right now with postfix in a Solaris 8 box. Besides my own errors (I am working on that ;), I had no problems getting it to work. I literally set it to do postfix (and postfix to do it), typed ./config and off it went. Compiler used was gcc. So, if you need someone to harass, that much I may be able to help. =)
