Does CentOS 5.6 have a mailing list manager like ecartis or majordomo? I want to set up mailing lists for my server in the cloud for three domains that I own. What mailing list managers do yourecommend, and where can they be found? I don't ming compiling source code.
Mailman is kind of the defacto standard list manager these days, indeed, this centos list is managed by it.
the project site is http://www.list.org/ with the documentation and such.
its in the EL5 and I assume EL6 standard repositories, so...
yum install mailman
suffices to install it and set it up. it uses a service called, naturally, mailman
chkconfig mailman on service mailman start
except I think the installation does this automatically.
oddly, In the rhel/centos install, all the management tools are in /usr/lib/mailman/bin/ which isn't in the normal path, but you only need these to create new lists and such, pretty much everything else is done through a simple web interface..
the web interface for users and list moderators will default to http://yourhost.domain.com/mailman/listinfo if you don't dink around with vhost records.
