I am not sure EZMLM would work anyways. From what I read it needs you
to subscribe to a list. This customer wants simply to send 100 e

EZMLM is for lists, like this one. Am I interpreting this correctly?
ezmlm is ezmlm. Qmailtoaster does not do anything special for it, so any
documents you read on ezmlm will apply.
You can manually add users to the mailing list without going through the
whole subscribe process. In qmailadmin, click mailing lists, create one,
and then click add subscribers. Add a user. The user does not receive
any confirmation emails. Then send a message to that mailing list and
the user will then get it.
You will need to give the user access to qmailadmin however, so they can
manage the list easily. There are also "commands" you can send to the
list to do the same functions, but unless you're really savvy then this
can be very difficult (for example, send an email to
List-Help: <mailto:[email protected]>
and see what you get back)
If you need to bulk import addresses, then I have a writeup on the wiki
on how to do that from the CLI. There are some other web based admin
utils for controlling ezmlm or giving admin access to lists to certain
users, but I have not investigated any of these solutions myself.
As Eric mentioned, mailman may also be a source. I find ezmlm easier to
setup and manage in general, but if you can convince your user to only
go into certain tabs in mailman then it may be a better choice for
non-technical users.
I don't know what Jake's talking about regarding certain tabs in
mailman. Mailman has a pretty extensive security model. You can assign
list ownership to the user, and then they can control the list in
whatever way they like using the provided web interface. The biggest
drawback I know of with mailman is a moderate learning curve, as there
are a lot of options. As always though, you don't get something for nothing.
