I've managed to get Mailman list server running on my QMT, and written

If anyone's interested in trying it out, please give it a go. I think
the instructions are pretty complete, but it'd be nice to have a few
folks try it out before we endeavor to create a formal mailman-toaster
package (which we'd like to do).
And for you ezmlm users out there, I hope that someone will figure out
an easy way to migrate lists from ezmlm to Mailman. I haven't looked
into that at all, and don't need to either as I have no ezmlm lists.
NJoy!
Hi Eric,
can you tell me what is the benefits and Pro/contra using Mailman over
ezmlm, and if mailman-toaster available, does ezmlm-toaster will be
dropped ?
Good questions.
Generally speaking, I think that Mailman is more robust than ezmlm. It
has an extensive web based user and management interface, so it's easier
to use and manage. There also are also lots of options, so it can be
tailored to just about any application environment.
I'm not aware of any advantages of ezmlm over Mailman, except that it's
easier to set up in a qmail environment, which is not so much the case
any more. ;)
Should mailman-toaster become available, I would expect it to coexist
with ezmlm-toaster for quite some time. I don't expect ezmlm-toaster
would be dropped until some point when no one's using it any more. That
decision would be up to the development team. That being said, I would
encourage the migration to Mailman from ezmlm, because I expect it to
have a longer lifetime. There has been no development done on ezmlm for
quite some time, which shows in its lack of user friendliness.
