In that case someone could make a free PHP discussion mailing list. There are currently none right now. I checked everywhere including hotscripts.com, thefreecountry.com, freemailguide.com, sourcecodeonline.com and DuckDuckGo. It's an open opportunity to fill a need. Right now, there are only free Perl scripts that requires you to "own" the server. Sheng-Chieh

Pardon me if I am in the wrong place - moderator, move me if desired. I hardly know PHP so let me share an idea for you PHP developers ... There is no free PHP discussion mailing list - just free Perl mailing lists. And many - I didn't check all - requires you to "own" the server. I am guessing that it would be hard for PHP scripts to read incoming emails to the discussion mailing list. A workaround is to have people post/reply on a web browser - allowing PHP scripts to work and send emails out. Messages would come from groupname@groupdomain.com, but browser is use to post reply/new topic. A typical message looks like ... topic ... ... message ... Do not reply or email groupname@groupdomain.com . If you wish to reply, click {reply URL}. If you wish to start a new topic, click {new topic URL}. If you wish to see your profile, click {profile URL}. In other words, the PHP script looks like a discussion mailing list except the user clicks an URL link (instead of "reply" or "new") if that person wants to reply or start a new topic. It is probably too late for me - we are on FluxBB, a lightweight forum with email subscriptions. But I would still like to know if someone tries to do this. For computer illiterates, a discussion mailing list is much easier than a forum. Teaching them just to click a link (to write something) is much easier than navigating thru a forum. Sheng-Chieh

Thank you. Latter. I'll look into python scripts. Sheng-Chieh

Pardon me if I am in the wrong place. Move me according. I am frustrated - not a PHP programmer - just a PHP user. I am looking for a free PHP script discussion mailing list I see alot of free PHP script annoucement mailing list paid PHP script discussion mailing list free PHP script discussion forum I searched in HotScripts.com, supershareware.com, sourcecodeonline.com, as well as DuckDuckGo search engine. I find it hard to believe that there is not one free PHP script discussion mailing list Whether it uses mySQL or not is not important. Are you aware of such a list? Thank in advanced for your help.
