Google Groups alternative [closed]

Question

I'd like to be able to have Google groups functionality on my site. Meaning having the ability for people to email each other, with the emails posting to my site, in a threaded manner.

Though I'm ideally looking for something free, if there's software out there that accomplishes this for a price, I'm also interested in learning more about that.

Thanks guys for your time and comments.

Answer 1

you should be looking at Groupware

http://php.opensourcecms.com/scripts/show.php?catid=4&cat=Groupware

http://nexist.sourceforge.net/groupware.html

you can implement the google groups like functionality with one / more combination of these groupware softwares.

Answer 2

There are lots of free mailing list managers, but you might want to consider running your own NNTP server - leafnode is an obvious candidate which can maintain local groups and also replicate other NNTP groups. Note that this is just a NNTP server not a user-agent. But by using a standard protocol you are not forcing the user to only choose one front-end.

And of course, there are lots of web-based newsreaders available e.g. pnews, headliner and lots of tools for email integration and rss syndication.

If a Java solution is OK for you (Java hosting is usually double the price of PHP hosting), than SubEthaMail might be exactly what you look for: http://code.google.com/p/subetha/

It is a mailing list manager, but it also has the Web UI to let the users use it instead of using the mail - just like google groups. Another advantage is that is using SubEthaSMTP as a mailing engine, and that's very efficient at handling huge amounts of mail because of it's asynchronous processing.

They are also "eating their own dog food", by using SubEthaMail itself to develop it (as opposed to e.g. Apache JAMES - this is just a mailing solution, no Web based UI).

See their user list here, or you can look at some screenshots to see that is quite advanced, and regarding usability I would say that it's even better than google groups.

당신이하고있는 일은 형식 캐스팅을 단조 연산자와 결합하는 것입니다.

다음을 보자 :

먼저 -1 유형으로 캐스팅하는 long 값이 있습니다.

그런 다음 값을 변경하지 않으므로 Unite Operation +를 수행하므로 (long) -1가 있습니다.

그런 다음 INT로 캐스팅하므로 현재 int -1가 있습니다.그런 다음 Unite Operator -를 사용하므로 -(-1) 인 1가 있습니다.

다음 Char로 던지십시오. 그래서 char 1가 있습니다.그런 다음 Uniby Operator +를 사용하므로 1가 계속 있습니다.

마지막으로 값은 byte로 캐스팅되므로 byte 1가 있습니다.그리고 나서 다시 (암시 적으로) int로 캐스팅됩니다.

Answer 5

do you need access to the code or just to host it "within" your own site? GroupSpaces (GroupSpaces.com) provides most google-groups-like features as a hosted solution but gives the ability to embed most of the content within your own site..

Answer 6

I'd consider some mailing list software which includes web archive.
mailman's got this - list archive in web format, in a threaded manner.

Answer 7

Nabble has such a feature, you can register for a mailing list and a forum and combine them, it's really great.

Answer 8

AtMail is a new player in this game. They are paid software, but there whole idea is to take the pain of managing exim configuration files and manage it behind a convenient interface, backed by support.

There is a hosted version, that appears cheapest.
