ezmlm ( abbreviation for "eazy mailing list manager") is free server software for operating mailing lists with the mail server software qmail . It is programmed in C and can run on various Unix-like operating systems.
ezmlm was written in 1997 and has not been further developed by the original author since then. It was unconditionally made available to the general public as free software, including the source code (public domain ). With ezmlm-idx there is still an actively maintained further development.
Ezmlm basic program
The software developed by qmail author Daniel J. Bernstein contains the basic functions for operating a mailing list, such as managing recipients, sending e-mails to them and handling undeliverable e-mails.
Ezmlm-idx
Ezmlm-idx is an extension of the basic ezmlm program and was developed by Frederik Lindberg, Fred B. Ringel and Bruce Guenter. It adds further functions to the software, such as extended archive functions, mailing list moderation, extended administration settings, as well as more efficient storage of the configuration of ezmlm; this also enables the integration of translation files from other languages.
While ezmlm itself is no longer being developed, ezmlm-idx is still actively maintained. Since it fits very well into qmail environments, ezmlm and ezmlm-idx are often the first choice here too. It can be installed directly from the standard package sources in Debian- based Linux distributions such as the popular Ubuntu .
Ezmlm-web
Ezmlm-web is a web interface for editing / configuring ezmlm mailing lists.
