1 To use listhandler you should first install mailhandler. Installing
2 mailalias is considered a good idea.
3
4 1.) Copy listhandler.module to the module directory of your drupal
5 installation.
6
7 2.) Enable the module in Site Configuration -> modules.
8
9 3.) Create a forum that you wish to be the container for your list's
10 messages (see docs for forum).
11
12 4.) Configure a mailbox per mailing list in admin > mailhandler > add mailbox
13 - specify the mailing lists sending address as the e-mail address, eg drupal-support-bounces@drupal.org.
14 - specify the mailing lists address as second address, eg. drupal-support@drupal.org
15 - configure your POP, IMAP mailbox or an mbox INBOX.
16 - disable "security"
17 - disable "send error replies"
18 - From header: A header by that mails from that list can be uniquely determined.
19 Sender is usually a good choice. This depends on the mailing list software.
20 - Then give as a mailhandler default command:
21
22 tid: 123
23
24 where 123 would be the numeric taxonomy id of the forum you created above.
25
26 5.) Create a dummy user which has the mailing list's sending address as
27 his address. This user needs to have a role that has the "post content"
28 and the "post comments" permission set.
29
30 6.) listhandler creates accounts for posters to your lists that do not have
31 an account on your site. In admin > listhandler > settings you can choose
32 if those accounts are open or blocked my default.
33
34 7.) While there you should enter an email address that can be used as a From
35 address for comments by anonymous users that get sent to your list.
36
37 8.) Subscribe the mailbox that you just configured to the mailing list in question. You do this outside of Drupal.
