The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Christian F Buser <address@concealed>]

Hi all 

I am presently running 2 lists on an old MacMini with using "LetterRip 4.07". 
This computer is located at my home, and not accessible directly from the 
internet (it has a private IP address, and no port forwarding / DynDNS is 
active) .

The lists have the following sizes: 

1) nearly 600 subscribers with max. 10 messages per year 
2) about 150 subscribers with 1 or 2 messages per month
Both lists are announcement lists where no discussions can be held. 

Can I use / install Sympa in such a setup? The main obstacles are probably: 

- the list server must be able to collect incoming messages, subscription 
requests etc. from POP3-accounts in the "outside world"  
- the list server must be able to send out messages using a provider’s SMTP 
server and use SMTP-Auth 

I have here 2 older Mac Mini machines: 

1,66 GHz Intel Core Duo (Macmini1,1), maximum OS = 10.6.8 (this is the 
machine running LetterRip at present)
2,4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (Macmini4,1), maximum OS = "latest release of MacOS"
(the OS indications are from MacTracker, so they should be fairly accurate). 

Are there any instructions available somewhere how I could set this up on one 
of these Macs? 

Or should I better get a Raspberry Pi mini computer and install Sympa there? 

Thank you for all ideas. 
Christian
