[Zope] Linking to Mailing List Managers

2000-06-01 Thread Ian Sparks

Hi,

With all the talk about Syndication I started to think about linking with
mailing list managers.

Ideally I'd like members of my portal site to be given a free email address
username@sitename, bouncing all mail to that address to their real email
address.

In a roles-based membership scheme it would also be nice to be able to send
email to role@sitename, so the email goes to all members with that role.

Has anyone done anything like this, linking to an existing Mailing List
Manager like Majordomo from Zope? I want to manage the whole thing through
some Zope management pages.

- Ian Sparks.

 Zope/E-Mail integration is something I'm very interested in doing as

 However, my todo list of non-commercial projects is full, so it's 
 probably going to take some time to do something that's not paid for,
 sigh, I should spend some time looking for companies here in Lübeck
 or Hamburg open for new technology which is not based on Java...
 
 With management via Zope pages do you mean something like the
 administration pages of GNU Mailman (written in Python)?

One of the first things zope exercises i did when learning zope, not tool
long after coming to digital creations, was create a product that hooked
up with the Mailman installation on zope.org.  (One of the last things i
did at my prior job, at CNRI, was to resurrect and revitalize the
prototype Mailman, for use as the maillist manager on python.org.)

I moved on to other things, and the MMRoster product may be way out of
date - i don't even know if the mailman interfaces have changed from
underneath, and i *know* that the zope ones have - but the product still
may offer some useful clues about one way to hook up with mailman.  I just
uploaded a tarball of it to my members folder - see

(I know ethan is interested in this topic, and barry warsaw, mailman's
current maintainer and my old colleague/buddy, has also expressed
interest, so i'm cc'ing them.)

All this said, i'm spread too thin at the moment to be able to *do* much
more than watch, maybe chime in, if stuff happens...
