ferdi Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Hi everyone, I'm currently trying to think of a mailing list, or rather how to make one. I don't really know exactly how it's done, but from what I figure is that it uses emails, and makes a type of forum of it. The reason I'm wanting to make a mailing list is for a group of people that needs means to communicate other than a forum(like this one), and email has already become so popular these days. So basically what I though of was to do something very similar(or exactly like) http://php.net/mailing-lists.php has done, but I can't really seem to grasp the whole concept of a mailing list. All I can think of is to take the emails received by people, and use different email addresses to which they send, and then just read the emails subject and categorize them under their subjects(eg. Re: Topic Once). Can anybody show me a better way, or how it's actually supposed to be done? Would be much appreciated, since I can't seem to find anything about this.

trq Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 If your not completely set on developing this yourself mailman is probably the most popular mailing list manager around. I would hazard a guess that it is probably the one that php.net (and many other open source projects) would use.

cags Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I believe PHP.net runs on ezmlm. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/194197-mailing-list/#findComment-1021876 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferdi Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 Thank you both. In PHP SVN they have their mailing list there, it seems custom created. I think I'd do with mailman, it seems quite efficient. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/194197-mailing-list/#findComment-1021895 Share on other sites More sharing options...
