This software is a mailing list archiver that prioritizes capacity, speed, simplicity, and configurability. It aims to offer a user-friendly platform that is easy to configure and use for quick and efficient archiving.
One of the benefits of Lurker is that it uses a web browser to interact with the user. Its web-based design makes it ideal for mailing list administrators since it can easily be deployed on the host of several lists. Furthermore, private users can also access their Lurker installation from anywhere in the world.
Lurker is different from other mailing list archivers because of its capability of handling gigabytes of mail without slowing down. It is designed to scale to support sites with thousands of concurrent users and hundreds of new messages a second. For those running a high-volume mailing list archive, Lurker is the software to consider.
This software also supports file attachments, multiple languages, message threading, gpg key photo ids, a transactional database, automatic timezone detection, render caching, xml customization with xslt and css, multiple front-ends (3-tier deployment), and much more.
Lurker is compatible with various web browsers, including Mozilla, Internet Explorer, Konqueror, Safari, Opera, and Lynx. Still, other browsers like Netscape4 can use Lurker, albeit only with an unpleasant interface. The software has been tested on Linux, *BSD, Solaris, MacOS X, and windows/mingw. However, it is easiest to set up in Debian/GNU Linux.
To summarize, Lurker is an excellent mailing list archiver that easily meets the needs of users by combining speed, capacity, configurability, and simplicity to find the information they need conveniently. Whether for private or business use, Lurker is designed to help users access information anytime, anywhere.
