SYMPA, or similar...

[andrewwri]

Hi,
We are using Cloudron in our organisation really effectively, and moved a lot of our different systems there. The one thing we haven't managed to replace to with a Cloudron option is our SYMPA emailing list system. We have quite a lot of different committees and working groups who all have their own mailing list.

SYMPA is in some respects great, but its an extra thing we have to maintain and it has very limited functionality for users to manage their own preferences. Some of us would be keen to move over to something more dynamic like Rocket.Chat, but there would need to be a big organisational culture shift to make that happen!

Is there an equivalent on Cloudron that I'm not spotting?

TIA

Sadly not

And I agree it's one of the things that is really lacking.

@avatar1024 has been pushing for such things for a good while, but so far to no avail (other than a few improvements to the basic Cloudron Mailing List feature https://docs.cloudron.io/email/#mailing-list

That's clear, thanks for the quick reply! We'll stick with SYMPA for now.

It's just a shame we don't yet have SYMPA or an equivalent on Cloudron!

Yeah it would be great to see! Maybe one day...

I think https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/1660/sympa-mailing-list and https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/6776/mailing-list-feature-basic-moderation are the relevant threads.

@andrewwri maybe you can leave a note in the sympa thread as to how you installed sympa and how you are maintaining it. Maybe some notes on your current set up will also help (what is the email server? how is it interfacing with the email server etc). thanks!
