email announcement list software

hey all,

i'm looking for some software that i can use to manage a database of email addresses and send mail to those addresses. i don't want to have a discussion list, just a list where i can send announcements to group members. preferrably it would have a web management interface.

anybody have any recommendations of software i could use or what i should be looking for? it's kinda hard to google for mailing list software because all the links are to sign up for mailing lists...

thanks all!

The Gentoo mailing lists use ezmlm, but this is qmail based. Another option is mailman, which has a web interface. They're both in Portage.

I have the same desire. However, I don't like mailman and would prefer to avoid it if possible. I used the virtual mail guide for my server and stopped at the mailman install. Partly because mailman isn't what I would consider stable yet and nor does gentoo since it's masked.

i think mailman is masked because of bugs with the ebuild, not with the mailman software, although i could be wrong.

Either rate, it's not what I would consider solid software at the moment. And it actually does more than I really want. Much like yourself. I just want something that will read the user database and send the mail to each user on that database or a selected domain only. Which is what I'm assuming you want as well
