jayc Posted May 2, 2003 Posted May 2, 2003 I have tried the Mailman clone available on TCH and am not happy with the limited amount of configuration that I can do with it, both the web visible portions and the format of the messages that it sends. Am looking for a replacement that I can install, suggestions would be very welcome. There is a new release of the real deal Mailman available from source forge, however it seems to require Python, and I am not sure that Python is available on TCH. Thanks in advance Jay <currently on the road> Quote
rayners Posted May 2, 2003 Posted May 2, 2003 What in particular do you want to do that Mailman can't? Quote
jayc Posted May 4, 2003 Author Posted May 4, 2003 Well since I am looking at putting the real MailMan in, the functionality is not the issue, it is the configurablity as far as what the users see that is the issue to me. I am pretty picky about consitancy of appearence for all the elements of something that I put together and after trying out the clone version of MM I have not been able to make it look enough like the rest of the sites that I am using it with. I figure if I do my own install of the new release I should have full access to all of the formating to be able to make it work like I want it it to. My real question here is if TCH has phython support (if MM 2.1.x requires it) or should I continue looking for a mail list manager that works with PERL/Php/MySQL. TIA Jay Quote
lusis Posted May 18, 2003 Posted May 18, 2003 I also had questions about python ... (slightly off topic but not really) so I sent up a help desk ticket and in a mere 12 min I got this back ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ We are running python-1.5.2-43.73 No plans of upgrades right now. Thank you for choosing Total Choice Hosting where choice does matter!

section31 Posted May 19, 2003 Posted May 19, 2003 LOL, INDEED. I don't think you have to compress it that much. Quote
odDonnellE Posted July 16, 2003 Posted July 16, 2003 anyone know the path for python? or if python has been updated (as 2.2.3 is out)? Quote
