I want to set up a mailing list for a local charity, for the purposes of discussion/announcement between members of the club.
mailman jumps out simply because it's all I know (and by "know" I mean I've used and administered lists hosted by lug.org.uk but that's it). So I thought I'd see if there are others I should consider.
What ideally I want to achieve is:
- A single list, with all members emails in it, mapped to something
obvious like "everyone@<charity>.org.uk"
- Messages sent to the list from members of the list get circulated
automatically
- Messages sent to the list from non-members get moderated:
-- At moderation there are options to reject, accept, or accept and add sender to the list as allowed sender (not receiver), ie for the many of us with multiple email addresses who might email from any but only want to receive to one
- Web interface for easy admin by people other than me
The normal mailing list subscribe/unsubscribe stuff I don't need as the list will be managed by me and/or others (the GDPR stuff is handled separately).
I manage an Ubuntu server which hosts the website but not currently mail for the charity's domain so there's going to be some configuration to do there (and probably some fresh questions when I get there) but for now: is mailman the tool I want?

You could try discourse, it has a feature that allows people to use email as the interface if they don't want to use a browser.
