Mailing List Archive

The mailarchive module allows you to subscribe to one or more mailing lists, messages from which will be stored in a threaded archive. It is then possible for users to browse and search these archives.

This is a rewrite of the earlier mail_archive module, addressing many shortcomings of that earlier effort. In particular, this new module is simpler to configure and more highly optimized.

The mailing list archive module is released under a modified BSD license (as this is less restrictive than the GPL). I host the source code locally, as at this time the Drupal project page does not support the inclusion of BSD modules. More information on the legality of releasing BSD licensed modules for the GPL'd Drupal can be found here.)

Current release: none

• Mailing list subscriptions are nodes, offering full support for taxonomy, comments, etc.
• Utilizes message_id, in_reply_to, and reference headers to offer fully threaded archives.
• Provides a browsable mailing list overview page similar to Drupal forums, offering an at a glance look at how active each list is, who sent the last message, and what it was about.
