Hi everybody, After a hiatus on our project to integrate Mailman and Zope 2.3.x here at EcoAccess, we're about to tackle it again. Has anyone out there tried this already? Last we heard, Mailman was a standalone CGI program, and in order to make it work with Zope you had to run both Mailman and Zope behind another web server (such as Apache). What we're planning to do is write a CGI product for Zope 2.3.3 so that we can run CGI programs with ZServer under Zope, eliminating the need to set up and configure Apache or any other web server. If you've already written a CGI Zope product (i.e., a product that lets you run CGI programs from any Zope folder), please let me know! Otherwise, I'll continue the experiments. ;-) Best regards, Fred -- Fred Wilson Horch mailto:fhorch@ecoaccess.org Executive Director, EcoAccess http://ecoaccess.org/ P.O.

Hi!

Yes, but if you control the Mailman from Zope, you will of course not need the cgi component, which only provides management interfaces and the mailing list archives, not the actual mail sending functionality.
What we're planning to do is write a CGI product for Zope 2.3.3 so that we can run CGI programs with ZServer under Zope, eliminating the need to set up and configure Apache or any other web server.
If you've already written a CGI Zope product (i.e., a product that lets you run CGI programs from any Zope folder), please let me know! Otherwise, I'll continue the experiments. ;-)
There already seems to be a product that can do this. But as I stated above, I'd take the Mailman code as a library and rewrite the management screens in Zope. For adding a new list, you still need to change stuff in the mail configuration of your machine (i.e. create an alias for the list). This COULD be scripted from Zope, but might be a security issue.

I've been away and I am only just catching up with Zope-dev. I have been working on a ZCGI product for a long time, but I keep getting stuck when I try to port it to Windows (No pipes - No nothing in fact) :( If you want to look at the code, drop me a line Adrian... -- Adrian Hungate All views expressed in this email are those of the whole world, however some people don't realise this yet. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Fred Wilson Horch" <fhorch@ecoaccess.org> To: <zope-dev@zope.org> Sent: Monday, November 26, 2001 5:39 PM Subject: [Zope-dev] Integrating mailman with Zope?

I'm afraid my solution won't help there. I basically just rewrote the standard Python popen library (to pass the environment to the CGI script), and haven't tested it on Windows. I'll send you my code separately so you can see what I've done. BTW, the project page for EcoAccess is on SourceForge at http://sourceforge.net/projects/ecoaccess All of our code is in our CVS repository there (drop me an e-mail if you need help finding it).
If you want to look at the code, drop me a line
Sure, that would be great. Can you send me what you have? Thanks! Fred
