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.
Thanks,

mailman has always worked well for me, easy to use, reasonable defaults, mail archived by default.

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.
Mailman is probably what you want to use, because anyone who subscribes to any amount of mailing lists knows exactly how to use Mailman and it's features.

One feature you are likely to miss, though, is a good search for the archives. If it is open to the public I suppose you can let google index it for you.

Good point, Les. It's tedious to search mailman archives-- as I've seen them set up-- because it's necessary to run the search on each month's archives. It would be a lot friendlier to be able to do one search of the entire archives at once. Is there a way to set up mailman that way?

+1
If someone knows a fix, please share.
Mailman 3 will most probably have searchable archives, but who knows when it will be out.
