Thanks for this, we used librelist.com to create our ML last months, but it was too opened (archives on google, anyone could join) for some people.

https://fiesta.cc/about do you use mongodb in the backend?

If so, could you give us more technical details about how you connect your mail server to the DB?

Yeah, the other nice thing about this compared to librelist is that you can use any list name you want without worrying about conflicts (since lists are tied to the sender's address).

Yup, using MongoDB to store everything. I will definitely be doing a post discussing the architecture, etc. Follow @mdirolf or @fiesta and you'll see it when it pops up.

The short answer, though, is that I'm running a 3 node replica set. Each mailserver (right now there are 2) is running on one of those nodes.

And that's how clever software is built.
