Description :
The need for ezmlm-web arose from the fact that we host many student
societies on our system. These societies usually have a virtual host for web
and email, which is administered by a computer rep from the society. These
computer reps often have little or no knowledge of Unix and so we needed a
user friendly system that would let the create and maintain mailing lists
(such as membersAATTfoo.soc.ru.ac.za, committeeAATTfoo.soc.ru.ac.za, etc).
Since I am never keen to re-invent the wheel, I had a look at Steve Peterson\'s
script (http://virtation.com/qmail/ml-sub), which allows people to subscribe
and unsubscribe from mailing lists using a form->email gateway. This is fine
for putting on a web page saying \"here come and join our mailing list\", but
doesn\'t really allow you to administrate a list.
Security of mailing lists was a concern, as we really didn\'t want
unauthorised people to be able to alter some users list. Ezmlm-web itself
implements no security checks (apart from un-tainting input) and so relies
on the web server to do this (re-inventing the wheel again :). We use an
Apache webserver, so one can control access to a directory using a .htaccess
file or in the access.conf file. ApacheWeek have a good article on doing
this at http://www.apacheweek.com/features/userauth. I also give examples
later in this document.
This version of ezmlm-web (2.0) is based to a large extent on previous
versions that I have developed. It has however been totally re-written to
make use of the Mail::Ezmlm perl module I wrote. At the same time it was
updated and extended to include the new features of ezmlm-idx. It includes
many new features that have been suggested to me over the last few months,
and hopefully is now useful to a much larger group of people.
