Hi... I'm wondering if anyone has done anything along the lines of creating an interface between an email list product such as listserv or majordomo and Zope... I'm setting up a small intranet site using Zope and trying to figure out if there's an easy way to integrate our existing majordomo lists with the new Zope site.
If one of the Zope forum products had an option for email notification, that would go a long way towards solving the problem-- but it doesn't seem like any provide this function at present. Alternatively, if there were a product that could accept an email message and create a message archive (ala hypermail), that would be great too... I'm not yet familiar with Zope and python to create something like this myself easily, but it seems to be a fairly simple thing.
We use mailman, which is, IMHO, much easier to administer than majordomo, and much less expensive than Listserv. Mailman isn't a Zope product per se, but it is programmed in python, and it's stuff is stored in python marshalled data, so it's fairly easy to get at. If I can offer specific help on places you're stuck, let me know. -- Joel Burton <jburton@scw.org> Director of Information Systems, Support Center of Washington
