Hello you smart people. I am looking for a piece of software that acts both as a forum and as a mailinglist. I'm part of a small re-enactment community here in The Netherlands. We only have 15 members or so. I *know* that a regular forum isn't going to work for such a small group. Not enough messages will be posted, so people won't check it regularly, so even less messages get posted, etcetera. This is why I recommended to set up a mailinglist instead. Mailinglists are passive. You get the messages anyway, you don't have to go out and check manually. But a couple of technophobes in our group really prefer a forum because that's what they know how to use. So, I'm looking for a piece of software that does *both*. Something akin to what Google Groups or Yahoogroups are doing. People can register but opt to not recieve e-mail but check the messages (and reply) though a webinterface instead. Of course, said piece of software should be open source so my anti-clod paranoid self can install in on my own server. Any tips? |

Thanks. I tried out all the suggestions in that discussion but without success. The discussion is from 2003 and pretty much all software recommended in it is defunct. I could roll my own but processing e-mail is *hard*. |
