Mail list for small club reddit / selfhosted ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kameleon25 · 2023-10-30 04:01 I have been put in charge of our archery clubs technical needs. Up to this point when the coach needs to send an email to everyone he just adds them all to the To: line in the email. I cringe every time I get one of those emails...... So I have been looking for something we can self host where he can have a couple of lists that a couple of us can help keep up to date for mail lists. Basically it sounds like we need a cross between mailman and listmonk. Here is the basics of what we need: We need a web interface so that a handful of us can keep the lists up to date (in all we have less than 100 members but the lists change depending on who is going to certain meets or not) We need coach to be able to send an email to something like [members@archeryclub.com](mailto:members@archeryclub.com) or [peopleat event1@archeryclub.com](mailto:peopleatevent1@archeryclub.com) and it goes to the proper list. We do not need mail discussions like mailman has, Just one way from coach to certain members. Having the ability to track who reads what like listmonk has would be a bonus but I am not 100% sure this is possible without having the messages sent through the web interface. ​ Any and all input is very much welcome. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- adamshand · 2023-10-30 04:10 Just use mailman and turn on moderation so nobody else can post. Or, if you don’t care about self hosting setup a Google group. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- scara-manga · 2023-10-30 04:12 PHPlist might do what you want. [https://www.phplist.org/](https://www.phplist.org/) Alternatively as your volume is low you might find one of the free plans at [mailchimp.com](https://mailchimp.com) for example (free up to 1000 emails) will suit your purpose ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rabs83 · 2023-10-30 06:57 [Sendy](https://sendy.co/) \- Cheap software, you host it yourself somewhere. It probably works on the same hosting as your website. It does a good job managing your subscriber list, and gives you a control panel to log in and send email campaigns/newsletters. You can connect it to Amazon SES to send emails really cheaply. Amazon charge something like 10c per 1000 emails, and the emails come from good IP ranges etc so you don't have deliverability issues. Amazon also has a free tier for low usage I think. I don't think it allows you to send an email to sendy, which then sends out a newsletter based on email. Not sure how vital that feature is for you. It's not something I've looked at. You'd log into the control panel to send a new campaign. You can prepare a nice template for less technical users to use, and they have a WYSIWYG editor to put text/images into the template. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ElevenNotes · 2023-10-30 09:40 Your coach shall simply create contact groups in his email client and manage it himself, no additional software required. BCC exists for a reason if you want to hide the recipients.
