 Post subject: Mailman?
PostPosted: Thu Aug 14, 2014 1:34 pm 
I'm the secretary of a small arts-based charity. Looking to transfer the hosting of our website, emails for our officers (most of them just have email forwarding rather than a proper mailbox) and the mailing list which we use to communicate with our members.

The mailing list currently uses Mailman, with certain officers allowed to post and all other members' moderation flags disabled so that they can't.

I'm thinking it would be easiest to transfer this to your Mailman offering since presumably it will have similar features and no learning curve to set it up.

I gather you access Mailman via cPanel. Please can you confirm that once there, it is the standard Mailman web interface, so presumably will have the facilities I'm used to?

Thanks

Hi,

We provide the standard mailman directly via cPanel. If you are currently hosted on a cPanel platform it may be possible to take an account backup and migrate your current mailman to our services.

Regards,

Jack

Thanks for your reply.

We're currently on Plesk, not cPanel. That gives very limited access (just adding a new member but no other admin features). However, there is then a separate web-based Mailman log-in page which gives access to everything else.

Would we have access to that Mailman web system, either as a click through from cPanel or separately?

If so, then I don't think transfer will be a big problem. The web system has a bulk subscribe facility so I can just copy and paste members' addresses from the old system. It also ought to be easy to copy across the standard messages we send when members subscribe or leave.

One other question: Your Basic package offers 5 email accounts. That would be enough for our officers who have proper mailboxes, but can we add others who just have their incoming mail redirected to their own private email addresses, and don't send any outgoing mail?

Thanks again.

Hi,

You get full access to the mailman websystem via a link through cPanel.

Yes, you can create filters to private mailboxes that will not affect your email accounts in use.

If you have any other queries, please let me know.

Regards,

Jack
