Okay - here is my issue.

I am working on a site where the client has requested the functionality that I create a listserv.

Since I chose to use Drupal, I have been researching ways to create this where emails could be posted to a forum within Drupal.

So I created my site, installed the appropriate modules and then started working on simulating the listserv functionality.

From what I have read and been able to find through research, it seems as though that using the mailhandler module was the way to go.

I got it installed out on my server to find out that my host doesn't have the IMAP extension available to PHP.

So here are my questions:

1) is there any way around this (not using IMAP)?

2) is there another way to have the features of a listserv without using mailhandler?

I'm not sure how flexible your client is on this, but I'm liking the mail to web functionality described on the Development Seed blog. Using a combination of Mail to Web, Messaging, Notifications and Mailhandler, you get the lovely visualization of the discussion in say a discussion forum format, and the simplicity of replying by email. I have not done extensive testing with this yet but it looks very attractive compared to good ol' listserv.

Check out OG_Mailinglist, its is a great effort, I think this may be the way to go for a lot of us trying to make a listserv with Drupal.

I have looked into creating Drupal listservs, and I found this: http://drupal.org/node/793564

I have not tested it yet, but it looks promising.
