I've finished the design of a national fraternity website. We're a profesional aviation fraternity (not like Animal House) and have been waiting a long time to setup this site. I have it configured with a minimal number of modules, mainly the page, image, weblink, and poll module. I also have enabled my own maillist module. It's a fully function mailing list setup with all management done through Drupal. It has support for archiving the messages as nodes and replies as comments to that node. It also supports attachments and attachment filtering by extension. Besides the filtering, the attachments are attached to the node itself with a little note at the bottom of the comment or message it was affiliated with (since the attachments only attach to nodes). I have set up a mailing list for users to subscribe to (tryitout AT ahpnational.org) and try out. The drupal community is welcome to try out this mailing list feature and see how it works.
I appreciate any feedback on the theme design as well as comments on the module.
Oh yeah, the website: ahpnational.org

Nice work!
Nice work on the mailing list module!
I tried it out as you suggested under the username "mltest01", which you can delete now if you want.
Are you planning on contributing this module to the Drupal community? It would be a great addition.

Most definitely. I forgot to
Most definitely. I forgot to include a link to it. Here it is. The module and required info are attached as a tar.gz file. Requirements are Postfix and Postgres, though I'm sure you could hack a MySQL version together.
great
Very pleased to find this. I havent tested it, nor even installed Drupal yet.
This is one major feature that I've been looking for in evaluating Drupal, modules and other options.
I Hope this is a robust solution. The implementation on your site looks neat and user friendly. nice work!

System requirements
hi joe
you say this module is written for Postgres http://www.joepilot.net/node/23
Will it work on MySQL? (e.g. MySQL 3.2) - this would be such a valuable module if it was easy to instal on all the platforms Drupal instals on.

Nice work
Hello joemc91
Nice work there with the mailing list.
Can you please spend a few minutes to apply for a cvs account commit your module, and create a project page for it?
This way more people will test it, contribute to it, find bugs, ...etc.
Thanks again.

One more thing
Also, you can submit your personal site http://www.joepilot.net/ in Drupal's Showcase as well.
The reason is that the theme looks really nice, and the drop down menus are unique.
Please do so.

As the author of the
As the author of the listhandler module I am obviously very much interested in improvements in this area of Drupal.
What I am curious about is: How well does your application scale? Did you do any tests? Also, are you doing the full scale mail handling thing, detect bounces & Co.?
The sendmail.php file includes a number of other files, that are not part of the distribution. Can they be downloaded somewhere?
I really like your design. Guess I need to set fire on the behind of my fraternity themer. ;)

If you have troubles with a particular contrib project, please consider filing a support request. Thanks. And, by the way, Drupal 4.6 will support PHP 5.

I haven't really tested the
I haven't really tested the scaling of the module but it is used extensively for another group I am in, though it is probably not used to the extent you are interested in. There is no full scale mail handling going on simply because I made the assumption that the email address the user has listed in their user information is valid. This feature wouldn't be too hard to add if I cleaned up the code. Right now however, it is very messy and was a patch job.
As for the files that sendmail.php includes, they are PEAR files. In the future I will include them in the maillist directory so that no more downloads are needed. For now though, http://pear.php.net/
Love the calendar! Is it a
Love the calendar! Is it a Drupal feature? Pls share how did you do it?
The header needs some work. It's not strong enough. It's a bit washed out. Rather than having three planes, have just one and make a nice logo with the type and the plane. Let it have a strong color background as well to make it stand out more. The words menu and user login are bit small, compared to the actual menu points. The type in general is a bit too big. Contrary to popular belief, it's easier to read smaller type. I guess beacuse the individual letters become like word pictures instead of separate elements. It's just easier, try it out.
