OSSP Petidomo 4.0
|
|
|
|
On December 12th, 2000, CyberSolutions GmbH published a version of
|
|
Petidomo 2.2 under the GNU General Public License. The OSSP project
|
|
enhanced that version significantly and hereby releases the result of
|
|
its efforts as »OSSP Petidomo 4.0«. OSSP Petidomo is a small but
|
|
powerful package that can be used to host and maintain mailing lists
|
|
on an Unix machine. Its only requirement is that there is a working
|
|
mail transport agent installed, such as sendmail.
|
|
|
|
OSSP Petidomo has -- among other things -- the following features:
|
|
|
|
* A simple-to-use e-mail command interface, which can be used by
|
|
users and administrators of a mailing list to subscribe or
|
|
unsubscribe addresses, approve postings that have been deferred or
|
|
rejected, list all subscribed addresses of a list, etc.
|
|
|
|
* Petidomo supports various modes of operation for a mailing list
|
|
such as open lists, closed lists, and moderated lists.
|
|
|
|
* Mailing list subscriptions or postings can be verified by requiring
|
|
an acknowledgement. This feature is particularly useful when used
|
|
for mailing list postings as it will keep the vast majority of all
|
|
spam mail off the list.
|
|
|
|
* Petidomo can host an arbitrary number of mailing lists in entirely
|
|
different domain name spaces -- also known as »Virtual Hosting«.
|
|
|
|
* A powerful »Access Control Language« (ACL) can be used to reject,
|
|
approve, drop, or redirect postings or subscription attempts.
|
|
|
|
* Mailing list postings can be piped through an external »Posting
|
|
Filter«, which can modify the article before it's delivered in any
|
|
way it sees fit.
|
|
|
|
* Petidomo can be configured to add arbitrary headers to any mail
|
|
that's posted on a mailing list.
|
|
|
|
* Petidomo can be configured to add a signature to any mail that's
|
|
posted on a mailing list.
|
|
|
|
The whole package is written in ISO-C and should compile
|
|
out-of-the-box on any POSIX.1 compliant system that provides a mail
|
|
transport agent. It has been released under the GNU General Public
|
|
License.
