I am the admin of a local theatre club of our university and am about to update the IT infrastructure and software to something a bit more modern.
At the moment, we are using a Java-Program that was written by my predecessor for mailing lists.
The mailing lists must support the following:
- New Topics via E-Mail
- Several Lists (e.g. pr, it, stage, backstage)
- Access Controls to the lists (on the sending as well as on the receiving side, e.g. our comittee may receive mails from everyone, even without an account but only the comittee members may read the mail
- storing in an imap folder
My Idea was to use some kind of Forum/Mailinglist integration and found Flarum.
Like mail comes in over our postfix, will be forwarded to flarum, will be pot in the right category/tag, based on the mailinglist and sent out to all subscribers (as well as a system subscriber that puts the mail in an imap folder for those who want to read the mail via imap).
If in doubt I would do the comittee-mailinglist without a web interface, but also this would be really nice (e.g. limiting reading access to a category/tag to a special group of people).
Oh, and login would be done via LDAP.
Would this be possible with flarum?
