Did you see the code Ken Manheimer posted last year? There might be very useful stuff in there... On July 6, 2000, Ken Manheimer wrote:
... One of the first things zope exercises i did when learning zope, not tool long after coming to digital creations, was create a product that hooked up with the Mailman installation on zope.org. (One of the last things i did at my prior job, at CNRI, was to resurrect and revitalize the prototype Mailman, for use as the maillist manager on python.org.)
I moved on to other things, and the MMRoster product may be way out of date - i don't even know if the mailman interfaces have changed from underneath, and i *know* that the zope ones have - but the product still may offer some useful clues about one way to hook up with mailman. I just uploaded a tarball of it to my members folder - see

(I know ethan is interested in this topic, and barry warsaw, mailman's current maintainer and my old colleague/buddy, has also expressed interest, so i'm cc'ing them.)
All this said, i'm spread too thin at the moment to be able to *do* much more than watch, maybe chime in, if stuff happens...

hth a little, Danny

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.
