Simple group email list

[Tom Browder]

I have a class website that I would like to programmatically send
***@mydomain messages to my list of classmate emails when I
periodically update the site. (I used to do that circa 2010 via Gmail’s API
but that changed and I had to stop.)

With modern email handling restrictions I’m not sure that’s easily done now
without lots of hoop jumping. Anyone have a pointer to a recipe for
doing that?

I’m running multiple virtual hosts with modern Apache with https on my own
remote server running Debian. My DNS provider is Namecheap.

Thanks.

-Tom

Here a happy user and happy admin of mailman.
But because it is python2 based, I tired mailman3.
Current still a happy user and happy admin of mailman,
but stuck on a Bullseye system.

Thanks for reminding me
on https://github.com/jaredmauch/mailman2-python3/issues/4
My plan is to go for mailman2-python3 on a Bookworm system.

Yes, I also used Mailman2, but hoped MM3 would cure its warts—unfortunately
it ruined it for me.

Maybe I should revisit it.

The 'still happy with mailman' should be read
as 'NOT happy with mailman3', for what it is worth.

Just do it. And when there is something to share with the mailinglist,
share it with the right amount context.

I'm one of the stubborn hold-outs still running their own email servers
(down with the outlook/gmail duopoly!). Running a mail server definitely
doesn't fall under the category of "simple" though. You have to deal
with SPF, DKIM, DMARC, etc. Nevertheless, I have several email lists
running on:

* Debian Bookworm
* Exim
* Procmail
* SmartList[1]

SmartList lists are just text files[2] so it's easy to programmatically
add/remove emails.

Ok, Ryan, I have installed all on my remote server. Fingers crossed and
jumping into the waters!

Thanks!
