Jmailman v0.1a component for Joomla is now available This is a barely tested (but working ok on a couple of my live sites with Joomla 1.5.4 and PHP 5.2+) first version - use with caution.
Jmailman v0.1a - release notesThis component allows users to manage their subscriptions to Mailman lists on any server.
For each list you need to know the domain and path to the admin interface, the list name, and if the list is on a shared host there may be a suffix (eg "mydomain.org") which is appended to the name.
You must also know the admin password for each list - these are stored in plain text in your Joomla database and are shown in plain text on the admin screen for Jmailman, so anyoe with access to this backend can obtain your list passwords.
You also set a title and description for the list which are what your users see at the front end.
Since this works by poking subscriber addresses straight into the admin interface for Mailman it bypasses any normal subscriber approval for the list. Users can choose whether to get the normal welcome/goodbye messages from the list, and will recieve a confirmation email from this system. In principle a user could spoof another user by temporarily changing their email address on your Joomla site, so it is very important that you set the configuration parameters for the email that Jmailman sends confirming actions. You can also set for each list whether Mailman will send notification of subscribes/unsubscribes to the list admin.
THIS IS A PRE-RELEASE VERSION - it is not fully tested and should be tested in your environment before use on a production site. It was developed with Joomla 1.5.4 and PHP 5.2.5. The facility to set an access level for each list is not yet implemented.
