How do you do mailing list?

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

Hey Y'all,
I have been working with drupal off and on for a while now... I have a really (what I think will be ) simple question- but I have not really found a good answer to it...

I am looking for a way to use drupal to replace yahoogroups. What I need to be able to do:
1. is have users start threads via email
2. have the threads stored, just like our Organic Group here is doing
3. be able to alter the emails slightly (putting them into a template)

OG does everything except for #1. OG2List looks like it might do this, but the module developer says that it is not ready for Internet strength just yet... I am wondering... as this seems so fundamental... anyone done something different that they have reproduced mailing list integrated with Drupal?

It seems that MailMan (python based) would be good, but a quick search at the modules looks like this has not been recently updated.

Any ideas, especially ones that you have seen scale?

Thanks,
Kevin

Mailman manager

Looks to me like you could do a the integration with the http://drupal.org/project/mailman_manager

It certainly is a robust mailing list program. There is also a http://drupal.org/project/phplist for integration with phplist. I don't have experience with either module but they seem to be fairly recent.

keep us posted
