Overview

ezmlm-web is a web interface for the administration of ezmlm mailing lists. It allows complete control over their configuration by using a web browser. User-based access control relieves administrators from the burden of managing all their mailing lists on their own.

Just take a look at some screenshots or try out the demo installation (use 'test' as username and password).

How can ezmlm-web help you?

ezmlm-web is an attempt to hide the complexities of managing a mailing list behind an intuative, easy to use web based interface. Thus it makes easy remote administration real.

ezmlm-web allows the user to easily add and remove mailing list subscribers, create and delete mailing lists as well as alter the configuration of existing mailing lists. Almost every aspect of the mailing list is controllable through the web interface, allowing the list user to do everything without the assistance of the systems administrators.

Features

Some of the important features that ezmlm-web offers are;

• Multi-Domain Support - ezmlm-web Can manage multiple mailing list domains within one web interface without harming privacy.
• Multi-Level Access - You can control who has access to different mailing lists or domains.
• Support for encrypted mailing lists - ezmlm-web allows you to configure your encrypted mailing list (gpg-ezmlm) and the associated gnupg keyring through its user friendly web interface.
• Name Association - You can enter any RFC 822 email address, and it will display the nice name while refering to the email address.
• Configurable Design - The "look & feel" of ezmlm-web is configured through templates, allowing you to easily integrate it into your existing website.
• Multiple Subscribes/Unsubscribes - ezmlm-web supports file uploads for bulk subscription of email addresses, and multiple selects for bulk deletes. Downloading the mail addresses of the subscribers to a plaintext file is also possible.
• Full support for all command line options - ezmlm-web has been updated to take advantage of all the command line features of ezmlm-idx v6.0. It should be compatible with any further releases :-)
• Language Independence - ezmlm-web is available in seven languages (English, German, Japanese, Portugues do Brasil, Russian, Slovenian and Spanish - your contribution for other languages is welcome.

History

The original author of ezmlm-web is Guy Antony Halse. He developed it up to version 2.1. By then it was functionally complete and convenient.

Since September 02000 no new releases were published.

In January 02005 Guy handed the project over to me (Lars Kruse). I incorporated the suggestions that were sent to Guy so far. Additional design and security improvements, as well as translations and loads of new features were integrated, too.

Your suggestions are welcome and will improve ezmlm-web whenever possible.

Some final words ...

As I am no native english speaker, I will gladly accept every hint to improve the appearance of this website.

A large amount of the code of ezmlm-web was written by Guy Antony Halse - thanks a lot for this work!
