I’ve too many problem with mailman3 for my newsletter. Too many people cannot subscribe. (confirmation email is mandatory despite the setting being disabled and confirmation emails not being sent 50% of the time)
I’m looking for an opensource newsletter provider which would allow me to post to my subscribers through email.
Any recommendation?
@ploum Sympa is used at UCLouvain. But it may be a bit too large and complicated.
@ploum I can offer you exactly that. Mailing lists, email templates, and the mail is effectively sent by Amazon. The software is called Sendy, and I run an instance of Sendy for my clients. Contact me on jos@aspidistra.nl for details. I don't charge by number of emails, only for support time.
@ploum are you self hosting mailman3? If yes, you could replace it with listmonk
Sympa ou listmonk ?
@ploum en autohébergement, j'utilise phplist, qui va plutôt bien
@ploum I'm running listmonk, and I'm very happy with it.
- https://www.keila.io/ @keila (selfhosted or SaaS)
- https://listmonk.app/ (selfhost, written in go)
- Mailtrain (selfhost, node.js) https://github.com/Mailtrain-org/mailtrain
@ploum Let me know if I can help
@keila : Is there possible to send the newsletter by email ? And have no tracking at all ?
Last but not least, is there a way to subscribe from your own page (my website is static, so I point to the newsletter URL and let people subscribe)
@ploum Yes, Keila is specifically built to send newsletters via email.
If you give Keila Cloud a try, you can either use your own email server or our managed Send with Keila option.
It's also possible to completely disable tracking with just one click. You’ll even get a little thank you badge when you disable tracking.
@keila : this really look interesting. I should try it!
@ploum Feel free to ping me if you create an account on Keila Cloud, I’d be happy to give you some free credits for testing
@keila : will be on my TODO list in January ;-)
@keila : I clarify my need: is there possible that I send an email to Keila so this email is sent to my newsletter?
I don’t want to use a web interface every single time I post.
I think we had a misunderstanding on this.
@ploum Ah yes, that was a misunderstanding then. That’s currently not possible, I’m afraid.
Though if you already use Markdown to compose your emails elsewhere, you can simply copy that and use it in Keila as well.
@keila : thanks, but opening a web interface is exactly what I’m trying to avoid at all cost.
@ploum Hmm … your options with Keila in that case are 1) use the API or 2) create an automation with Zapier. Zapier allows you trigger workflows via email.
Else, you probably want something like Mailman: https://list.org/
@keila : currently using mailman but have some troubles with my provider, hence exploring other options ;-)
