- generalpass 6y agoEven before Discourse I recall forum software that managed mailing lists. There was usually a sticky with a message warning forum users that each post is sent out as an email, so be respectful of this and format accordingly should you desire a response. EDIT: I actually don't know if it was forum software or just mailman plugged into the forum somehow.
- zimpenfish 6y agoLooks interesting but as with the sr.hut stuff, Rails + Ember + Postgres + Redis is too much for a mailing list.
- lowwave 6y agoTake a look at Mailcast: https://github.com/nodemailer/mailcast https://github.com/nodemailer/mailcast Requirements: Nodejs v8+ Redis MongoDB Unblocked port 25
- zimpenfish 6y agoAlas, that too is the newsletter / marketing style of mailing list.
- sam_goody 6y agoI tried using Discourse for a while. The setup was not so bad. But it really failed as a mailing list, as there was no way to respond to the sender without responding to all. There was a plugin that caused more issues than it solved. It has been several months, not sure if it improved since then.
