Hi there!
I am new to this group and am in the process of trying to put together a community site for students, past and present on an ordination course.
It would be good if it was possible for individuals to send an email to their own year group, or any other year for that matter, but I have been unable to work out a way of doing this within Drupal. I am looking at integrating mailman but have not got far on this yet as it is currently not available on my server.
I believe it may be possible to do what I want through groups. Has anyone done this?
Jon

mailhandler comes close
Using groups + mailhandler you can come close to a mailing list:
Mailhandler:
- could be configured to check a mailbox for each year - and automatically create a node with the contents of the email and put it into the appropriate group when it is received.
- or you could have all emails going to one mailbox and have the year specified in the body
Groups:
- when the node/email is put into the group, whoever is subscribed to that group for emails will get it emailed to them
The only drawback is that if you get an email from the group - you can't reply to it automatically like you can with a regular mailman mailing list.
Hope this helps.
Mailhandler
Will have a look at this and see what it might offer.
Thanks for the idea
Jon
