I'm looking for information on how to set up a mailing list server for
college-related work, similar to the one we're interacting with here.
On and off when I read similar thing the only issue that crops to my
mind is who maintains it when the original admin/proposer is not around
(it is an inevitability if you are a student and a possibility if you
are a faculty) and thus I'd really say that if such a chance exist push
the infrastructure bits of your required service to someone who already
has such a thing set up.
A requirement for both the lists is that it should be able to set up
tagging rules for each user. For instance, on the announce list, a
user may say that if a mail contains the tags [COMP] or [ENTC], it
should be sent to him. Or a user on the discuss list may say that
all things marked [OT] will not be sent to him.
Being very pedantic, that above is not a mailing list function. Tagging
would help filtering and mail sort at MUA for end user. Unless there are
multiple recipients of mails marked say, [ENTC] a direct mail to sender
or creation an alias for which more than 1 user receive a mail copy
might be suggested.
The above is not a requirement set in stone, however. Even without
tag-based rules, it'll be possible to manage.
Ahh...
I also want to find out information as to how to set up a web-based
interface to the list, such as we have on our PLUG list, for users to
manage their settings.
Any decent mailing list software / web based existing list service
should provide that along with somewhat limited security that archives
are available only to subscribers
