| Post subject: | Mail list application without mailserver? |
Hi I need to set up mailing list for our floorball team. So the list must be closed. Anybody knows of any free service that I can use? If there none, could anybody recommend what application I can install on my linode. I don't have any mailer installed and I do not want to install one. Can I use let's say mail man with gmail as smtp? Thank you R. |

Google Groups would be the obvious first choice. Is this an announcement-only (one-way) thing, or something more interactive? To run Mailman, you will need to set up a mail server. How simple or complicated it is doesn't matter: it just needs to work for receiving and sending mail. |

So if somebody wants to send an email to the group group@email.com is used. There is not need to be able to reply to this email. Reply all is good enough. But I want - this group to be private/closed - members can manage their memebership - admin can add users - can create subgroups Can I do something like that using Google Groups? hoopycat wrote: To run Mailman, you will need to set up a mail server.

Google Groups can do that (with the possible exception of "subgroups", which I'm not familiar with as a feature)... from http://groups.google.com/, click on "Create a group..." and pick "Restricted" for the access level. That post on the mailman-users list pretty much sums up the situation. You need some way to get e-mails from people to Mailman, and some way to get e-mails from Mailman to people. No real way to do that short of setting up a mail server. |
