[drupal-support] mass mailer says can't fine php executable even though it's in /usr/bin/

[Petre Scheie]

I like the idea of integrating Sympa, especially if I can't get the PHPList module 
working.  As I mentioned, we're already using Mailman, but that's only useful for email 
list management.  We also have a separate list of member info, some with email 
addresses, some without, that we want to merge with the mailing list into a single list. 
  The idea is that we have one system that handles all member info, allows us to send 
email to the email addresses, send snailmail to those without email addresses, manages 
the notices we post on the website, and allows the member list to be managed via the 
website (including allowing people to manage their own ID/email address), so that we can 
delegate some of those tasks to various people.  Drupal with the massmailer, dba, and 
events modules seems to fit the bill if I can get it all working.

As for the number of users, the mailing list has about 1300, while the other member db 
has about 3000 entries.  There's probably some overlap between them but I have no idea 
how much.

I think we could contribute a bit to the bounty funding, too.
