phplist 2.10.9 (Stable branch)
01-29-2009
phplist is a mailing list and newsletter manager that allows posting via a Web page. It works well when used for announcements, and can handle very large email address lists. Users can sign up to multiple lists, but will only receive a single copy of cross-posted messages. When signing up, users can identify their geographical location, and messages can be targetted to these. You can add place holders in your email that will be replaced with personal details (such as the person's name). Users can update their own information, and unlike many other mailing list systems, they can change their email address. HTML emails are supported. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:|

NEWS2MAIL(8) System Manager's Manual NEWS2MAIL(8) NAME
news2mail - a channel script to gateway news into email. SYNOPSIS
news2mail DESCRIPTION
news2mail runs as a channel process underneath innd. It is set up as channel feed in newsfeeds, with different mailing lists as funnel entries pointing to it (see below). news2mail uses a config file <pathetc in inn.conf>/news2mail.cf to map mailing list names to email addresses. news2mail causes sendmail to queue the messages for later delivery (to avoid DOS attacks by mass postings). You must run 'sendmail -q' periodically to get the queue processed. CONFIG FILE
The config file format is simple: comments (start with ``#'') and blank lines are ignored. All other lines have two fields on them. The first is the list name and is what innd uses (i.e. the site field of the entry in the newsfeeds file). The second field is the actual email address to send the article to. In the email message, the ``To'' header will have the mailing list name (i.e. the first field) # list-name address big-red-ants@ucsd.edu big-red-ants-digest@ucsd.edu news-software@ucsd.edu news-software-digest@ucsd.edu a set of newsfeeds entries for these lists would be: n2m!:!*:Tc,Ac,Wn*:<PREFIX specified with --prefix at configure>/bin/news2mail big-red-ants@ucsd.edu:rec.pets.redants.*:Tm:n2m! news-software@ucsd.edu:news.software.nntp:Tm:n2m! news2mail strips most article headers from the article before mailing. It leaves: From, Subject Date, Organization and Message-ID in there. It add a To header with the mailing list name in it. HISTORY
