    I'm using the free list manager macjordomo for a number of mailing lists. It started as a majordomo clone on OS7 and went OSX native (prolly carbon, actually) a few years back. It does a good job for the sort of list/digest, self-register, moderated list type mail we do, but it doesn't have a web interface. Anyone have suggestions?

    What about porting some opensource mailinglist manager that's available ? I haven't looked at it because I don't need one but Postfix and Courier stuff is just opensource unix software you can compile on Mac OSX wihtout to many problems.

    What's the best open source mailinglist manager that's available and well maintained ? We could give it a try ...

    Mailman is my favorite. Last count, I have 48 lists under several different virtual domains. It's not hard to configure/compile and it has both web and CLI interface. Most of the web interface can be customized with your own HTML. All of the pre-defined variables can be modified to suit your installation. Also, if you are an experienced Python programmer, you can modify everything.

    The only caveats to my recommendation are: 1) virtual domains are handled by a python database, not MySQL; 2) I've never tried to integrate Mailman into Richard's setup; 3) Mailman runs on a separate box.
