Description

I have my drupal running on a windows maching, but I have my Mailman running on a SuSE Linux box (obviously, cause it can't run on windows :)). Anyway, I would like to be able to use this setup to control my mail man. I don't think it should be to bad.

With that said, I am posting this feature request as I am now working on it. I have a few ideas on doing "remote Mailman".

The first is NFS. This isn't too bad, as one just wraps the exec commands and runs the correct command according to the settings.

The trickier part is Windows to Linux. So far, I have wrapped all the exec commands in a function, and made a settings page to specify that you are running windows locally, and the location of your mail man server. I run all the mailman commands via SSH.

So far, this is working out nicley. Get a few more bugs tweaked out, and I shall post a patch.
