Is it possible to create a Zope based frontend for Mailman? Or has someone has already done this...

There is a product "MailBoxer" (or similar) around. Maybe, it can help you...

It seems a little pointless re-inventing the wheel when there is a perfectly good, well established mailing list manager like Mailman around to go to the bother of installing something completely new and untried just for the sake of a few web pages. I would much rather prefer to have Mailman working under Zope than having a new mailer.

This is something that I will be working on this year For starters I will create a members-only searchable archive of Mailman messages, with the messages stored in PostgreSQL Unless anyone has any better suggestions, I will probably do it as follows: * Some process to store messages in a PostgreSQL database as they come in (haven't worked this bit out yet, although I have a few ideas) * set up ExUserFolder to call some python code which retrieves user id (i.e. email address) and password from Mailman * Do a fairly straightforward search screen of the PostgreSQL database Later this year I want to create a full-blown control panel for the members, so once they have registered they can easily switch between different Mailman discussion lists, instead of having a different log on for each Mailman list. At that point the user details will probably move from Mailman into PostgreSQL I have already set up the main Mailman discussion list so it is a paid-for list, with an annual membership fee. Most of the payment process is automated, only requiring manual input for exceptions and for processing off-line payments (e.g. cheques and bank transfers). This is currently in python under Apache and will move to python under Zope later this year If anyone is working on anything similar feel free to contact me. Or if there is some code already out there, I would love to know about it Obviously I'll also be checking with the Mailman community soon Coen
