Nabble for web/NNTP access to mailing list? Is it free?

[Shohreh]

Hello

There's a mailing list I read that is still not accessible from the web, and has no archives.

Switching to digest mode doesn't help much, since replying is hell.

So I'm investigating the options to somehow connect it to a web server such as Nabble.

I'd like to know…
1. How to check if the mailing list can be connected to Nabble
2. How to proceed
3. Is it free?
4. Are Nabble-co-hosted mailing lists accessible through a web browser and an NNTP client?

Thank you.

Are you sure it is a mail list? A mail list is a uses conventional email to distribute emails to subscribers.

You mention NNTP. That is a protocol for distributing UseNet/NewsGroups and is not related to email. From a casual user's perspective the main difference between email and News is that with a news client you have the option of just downloading only the headers of articles before you opt to download the body of articles. Technically Mail and News are very different.

Nabble cannot assist you with  News. It can help with a Mail List.

1. How to check if the mailing list can be connected to Nabble

This page:
http://n6.nabble.com/archive-your-mailing-list.html
indicates the mail list servers that Nabble supports:

CommuniGate
Ecartis
ezmlm
Google Groups
Lyris
Mailman 2.0.*
Mailman 2.1.*
Majordomo
Majordomo 2
mlmmj
SmartList
Sympa
Unknown or Other
Yahoo! Groups

None of these are NNTP.

2. How to proceed

Go to the link above.

3. Is it free?

Yes, but adverts will be displayed after a trial period. You can pay to have these removed.

4. Are Nabble-co-hosted mailing lists accessible through a web browser and an NNTP client?

A Nabble archive of a Mail List is quite possible and you have the choice of reading and posting either via the web or via a Mail client but not an NNTP client.
