problems. So I'm working with these modules in Drupal to make a bi-directional communication between a forum and a Mailman mailing list:
- Listhandler
- Mail Alias
- Mailhandler
I'm still testing but it's working so far using those 3 modules on my sandbox system. It seems that it should work with any mailing list software to and from a Drupal forum though.
That is the intention. I it doesn't work, please file bug reports. Mailalias might be too outdated and would need updating, I guess.
I'll let you know. I haven't used Mailalias yet but I'll try to do that today if I can and report in good or bad.
The problem I have with PhpBB is even though it is good software and very popular,
Have you looked at the code? It is more popular than good.
Never looked at the code. I have looked at Drupal's code and find it easy to read and can even figure out what parts of it are doing, even though I'm not a PHP programmer nor have I had time to read the docs on it's internals.
There is another problem I've found with mailing list servers. The majority of them require root access to install or get them to work after the install. If you're using a shared server it's not possible for you to put most of them on your system. You may have to get the host company to do it if they will and you might still have problems.
If your traffic is low any you have procmail installed you can look at installing smartlist.
I gathered that smartlist is a 'one way' only solution - outbound. Did I misread that? Can there be more than one smartlist on a system?
