Mailman's web interface[resetting your password, archives, etc] just makes me cringe. I especially hate that almost every install I've seen makes you assign a password for every mail list you are on to access your account online. Why should I have to set a password for NYPHP-talk AND set a password for NYPHP-jobs ? If it is the same email address, just let me use one password for both. Add to that simple things like RSS feeds are made much more difficult with Mailman. I want to setup a couple email lists of my own....and given a choice between learning enough python to modify Mailman, or writing my own listserv software in PHP I will go with PHP. I'd just rather start with something else and build on it than create my own. As for PHPlist..... well, since I am between jobs and my last job was in managing email deliverability/campaigns using Email Service Providers....I am currently working on writing my own one way list system utilizing EC2 to scalibility and PHP/Swiftmail as the mail processor[yes, I am aware of the general logic that says it is better to do email delivering with a mail server compiled in C for performance....I feel that general logic is based on an archaic view of servers where "throwing more hardware" at a problem was an expensive proposition. With Amazon's cloud services, you can throw a virtual PC with 64G of memory and 8 virtual cores at the initial mail campaign send of a couple of million emails for an hour for just 2 bucks, then leave the email that can't be delivered immediately on a low priority queue and process it with a micro instance to handle bounce back and problem delivery for 2 cents an hour...] Once I have it up and running I can bounce you some links if you want to test it out[most likely I will be pay images of everything pre-installed up on Amazon for a few cents more an hour than they charge, while keeping all the sourcecode in github so your free to roll your own if you wish.] The plus of using Amazon web services is that if you grow to the point of being worth having your own fulltime system admin team, you can migrate to Eucalyptus and run it all in house. -Gary
