Hi

I am creating a web page, in which our group can edit their personal information, including their email address. This information is stored in a MySQL database.

My question is now: I want to create a mailing list, so that when an email arrives at the specified email address, some server looks at the MySQL database and forwards the received email to the addresses found in the database.

Is this possible in an easy way?
my first thought was to have the web page change some file on the system, in which the emails have been stored, such that a change is written to this configuration file seen by the email program.


Do you have any better ideas?

PS. I don't have any experience with email servers, this is my first project.

Which mta do you use (i.e. postfix, exim, etc.)? If you use postfix, you may want to have a look at postfix.admin: http://postfixadmin.sourceforge.net/

I actually don't use anyone yet. I tried searching Google for an answer, but I couldn't find any MTA, which stated to have this feature.

But if it is possible to easily set this up with postfix.admin, I'll try that out.
