To use listhandler you should first install mailhandler. Installing
|
| 2 |
mailalias is considered a good idea.

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.
