1: Mailing list usage
Posted by Giampiero Granatella on 10/26/05 05:15 PM
I have an other question about my new installation of open ACS.
I've installed the mailing list package. I created a new ml called "test", and i mass subscribed two users. Those user receveid the email and confirmed their partecipation.

Now, if they write a mail to mailto:test@mysite.com i expect that all the users receves that email, but it doesn't happen.

What i did wrong, or better what should i do to configure the package correctly?

Mailing list should probably be called "Newsletter". It is basically for mailing out newsletter type emails to groups of users.

Is that true? This is disappointing i need that functionality, if it is true there is a package for managing mailing lists?

Giampiero, if you want this functionality use forums and enable the "reply to " feature of forums. Mailinglist does not provide this functionality and we should seriously rename it to newsletter.

Anyone has some time on their hands? A quick perl hack should do the trick, but who knows :).
