Beginning this summer, OIT will migrate e-mail lists from listproc to Sympa, an open-source application that offers flexibility and stability, and allows users to control more aspects of their lists.
Sympa offers an easy-to-use web interface and works well with other UMBC applications such as Webauth.
Sympa's features include:
-Configuration options are accessed through an intuitive user interface.
-Easy management of list owners, managers and subscribers.
-Searchable, threaded Web archive with access control.
-Each list has a Web-based file sharing repository with access control, moderation and an optional quota.
OIT will migrate mailing lists from listproc to Sympa this summer. Lists will still be accessible through myUMBC.
