RE: [PHP] Mailling Lists
snip Look into qmail/ezmlm for a good combination, along with the tied true majordomo list manager. I've been running some large mailing lists using the ezmlm/qmail combo - which easily saturates a T1 connection running just a 350 MHz PII. I'd say mailman. I know sourceforge.net is running mailman on a few lists I'm subscribed to. mailman is fairly easy to setup. Majordomo has had quite a few security issues and isn't really easy. A few large lists I know are running qmail/ezmlm.. lists like BUGTRAQ (securityfocus.com) and the MySQL mailinglist (mysql.com) are running ezmlm. If you plan to use a database, I know ezmlm can be used with one.. I think I remember it's still considered experimental.

[PHP] Mailling Lists
I am creating a mail list and need something that does not require MySQL or any other databases is there a good one? What is the best one even if it's with MySQL?

Re: [PHP] Mailling Lists
Why not a traditional mailing list manager like mailman?

Re: [PHP] Mailling Lists
Ben, These aren't pure PHP however if you are using qmail I would tell you to take a look at ezmlm (http://www.ezmlm.org/) and if your using sendmail you may want to try majordomo (http://www.ualberta.ca/CNS/MAJORDOMO/). If your using something else... well I honestly have no clue. :) Gerard -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PHP] Mailling Lists
I'm really unable to discuss the mailing-list topic because I have nil expertise in this field (apart from using them, that is). However, I'd strongly advise you to use something based on some kind of database system, because alternate methods of storing data (i.e. plain text files) are crippled from the start in the speed department -- and if you hope the list to grow, this will become a major issue.

Interestingly enough, the largest mailing list systems do not use databases to store their addresses. The likely limit will be bandwidth, not anything else.
