Thanks for the settings and suggestions. I want just to try it, if it doesn't work out I will move to mailchimp.
I really appreciate your willingness to help me.
Do you know another program for mailing mailchimp/mailman like?
Thanks

What would be the config for a simple one way announcement type list ????
Here is a possible list configuration (this doesn't go in any particular file; it's a dump from the REST API, but you should be able to find the corresponding settings in the GUI): | ||# Phantom list 41|| ||# ---------------|| ||acceptable_aliases = []|| ||admin_immed_notify = true|| ||admin_notify_mchanges = true|| ||administrivia = true|| ||advertised = true|| ||allow_list_posts = false|| ||anonymous_list = false|| ||archive_policy = "public"|| ||autorespond_owner = "none"|| ||autorespond_postings = "respond_and_discard"|| ||autorespond_requests = "none"|| ||autoresponse_grace_period = "45d"|| ||autoresponse_owner_text = ""|| ||autoresponse_postings_text = "This is an announce-only list"|| ||autoresponse_request_text = ""|| ||bounces_address = "phantomtbonesq-list-bounces@example.net"|| ||collapse_alternatives = false|| ||convert_html_to_plaintext = false|| ||created_at = "2017-06-28T00:33:14.031754"|| ||default_member_action = "discard"|| ||default_nonmember_action = "discard"|| ||description = "well, you see it's like this"|| ||digest_last_sent_at = null|| ||digest_send_periodic = true|| ||digest_size_threshold = 5000|| ||digest_volume_frequency = "weekly"|| ||digests_enabled = true|| ||display_name = "Phantom list 41"|| ||dmarc_mitigate_action = "no_mitigation"|| ||dmarc_mitigate_unconditionally = false|| ||dmarc_moderation_notice = ""|| ||dmarc_wrapped_message_text = ""|| ||filter_content = false|| ||first_strip_reply_to = false|| ||fqdn_listname = "phantomtbonesq-list@example.net"|| ||http_etag = '"ad12b8647391aa81563c67a164c57156e10efca0"'|| ||include_rfc2369_headers = true|| ||info = " The wind in the willows|| ||talked in the pillows||||" ||join_address = "phantomtbonesq-list-join@example.net"|| ||last_post_at = null|| ||leave_address = "phantomtbonesq-list-leave@example.net"|| ||list_name = "phantomtbonesq-list"|| ||mail_host = "example.net"|| ||moderator_password = null|| ||next_digest_number = 1|| ||no_reply_address = "noreply@example.net"|| ||owner_address = "phantomtbonesq-list-owner@example.net"|| ||post_id = 1|| ||posting_address = "phantomtbonesq-list@example.net"|| ||posting_pipeline = "default-posting-pipeline"|| ||reply_goes_to_list = "no_munging"|| ||reply_to_address = ""|| ||request_address = "phantomtbonesq-list-request@example.net"|| ||send_welcome_message = false|| ||subject_prefix = ""|| ||subscription_policy = "confirm"|| ||volume = 1|
The key items are:
allow_list_posts = false autorespond_postings = "respond_and_discard" autorespond_requests = "none" autoresponse_postings_text = "This is an announce-only list" default_member_action = "discard" default_nonmember_action = "discard"
You don't need to worry about DMARC, since you're the only poster.
Deciding about VERP (bounce verification) will require some thought - it's a tradeoff of cost vs. accuracy. It's discussed in the documentation.
In addition, you need to define a subscriber with "moderation_action = accept", from which you post to the list.
This is from a Mailman 3 application that's still being developed, so it may not be fully debugged.
FWIW, your difficulties getting MM3 working are not unique. I have had similar problems - and I'm not done yet. I've run Mailman 2.1 lists for many years, but 3.1 is a lot more complex to set up. In fact, pretty much everyone who has tried to use MM3 has had similar problems.
MM3 is in early stages of adoption & development. You should expect the challenges of any early adopter of complex software. There will undoubtedly be bugs - some serious, some not so. But if you continue to provide feedback, there's hope that the developers will improve it.
On the other hand, if you want a more stable platform and are willing to settle for fewer features, you might consider using MM2.1. It's widely deployed and quite stable. Your distribution will have it packaged & easy to set up. You can always migrate when 3.1 is more mature.
Finally, as others have noted, Mailman is fine for distributing moderate volumes of e-mail. For high volume, you need to tune your mailserver and platform - this may not be cost effective in terms of your time and investment in bandwidth and hardware. Also, Mailman doesn't provide the "services" that many people expect from mass mailing services such as MailChimp - e.g. beacons indicating how many people open your mail, correlation with purchases, tests to see how it fares with spam filters, compatibility tests with common e-mail clients, and so on.
If an open loop system meets your needs, Mailman can work well. If you need feedback, it may not meet your needs.
