It looks really good but I'm really after something small for private mailing lists entirely under my control - a standalone lists.sr.hut might work but (at least) 4 daemons and Celery (I already have Redis) is many moving parts.

  Well, the daemons would be postfix, listssrht-lmtp, listssrht-process, the website, and something like nginx, plus postgresql and redis - so more like 7 :) but it's pretty easy to set up, and there are good reasons for these things being separate processes. The LMTP daemon is separate from process, so you can quickly accept mail and then take your time forwarding, or scale out mail forwarding to several processes/machines for large lists. This is separate from the web app so that they don't clog each other up and can be deployed/scaled separately. For standalone installations you can also set up aliases like foobar@lists.example.org rather than ~username/foobar@lists.example.org. Docs if you decide to give it a shot: https://man.sr.ht/installation.md https://man.sr.ht/installation.md

    If I can't figure out how to hack around these problems in the Ecartis source code before I go mad, lists.sr.ht is definitely going to get its chance.

      Oh, check this out too: https://github.com/eXeC64/nanolist https://github.com/eXeC64/nanolist

        Now that one is (assuming it works) perfect! Thank you! I have no idea why Google couldn't be bothered showing me that one in the many searches I did but I suppose I should have searched Github too.

        That didn't work due to what I think is exim's weirdness about STARTTLS and TLS but https://github.com/peterverraedt/tinylist/ https://github.com/peterverraedt/tinylist/ (which is a fork) did eventually work after much faff and experimentation. One day short of 13 years sterling service and Ecartis has been retired.
