Listadmin provides a command-line option to administer mailing lists with an alternative to Mailman's Web interface. It simplifies the management of mailing lists without relying on a graphical user interface.
Listadmin is designed with user interaction in mind, and it is possible to run it automatically with the help of the cron job software. Users can apply filters to decide which emails are to be processed by the tool, including SpamAssassin score, sender, and subject. The configuration file is straightforward to edit using Notepad.exe.
A sample configuration file is included, with features such as password and discard levels, as well as the ability to exclude emails from specific senders. Since the software is a command-line tool, it is not possible to provide a screenshot. However, users may find it helpful to consult the manual page for complete instructions on how to use the software.
Listadmin is written in Perl and requires several modules, but these should be bundled with Perl 5.8.0. In the latest release, the software has added several new features, including the ability to turn nomail on or off from the command line and seamlessly integrate with Mailman 2.1.x. The update has also improved handling of unknown character encodings. Overall, Listadmin is a useful tool for quick and efficient management of large mailing lists.
