email-based conference?

[Victor]

I need a script to set up an email-based conference.
Can you recommend one?

Thanks,
Victor.

Any decent script, perl or php, to organize e-mail (NOT online) discussions. Do you have any suggestions?

I mean, something like yahoo groups : http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/groups/messages

Or, better, like listbot.com used to be, until Microsoft shut it down.

If you want exactly like yahoo groups, contact your system admin (if your site is hosted by a company). You may try cgi.resourceindex.com or php.resourceindex.com ; you may try majordomo, anyemail.pl etc..

There's a Python-based program for this [I think it's incorporated into CPanel].

It's called mailman:

Thank you for your suggestions, but no luck so far.

Majordomo looks like what I need, but it requires telnet access, which I do not have at the moment. (Yes, the web-site is hosted by another company).

Do all such list server programs require telnet access? Are there any which can be installed via ftp?

Thank for your answers,
Victor.
