+Mailman is software to help manage email discussion lists, much like +Majordomo and Smartmail. Unlike most similar products, Mailman gives +each mailing list a web page, and allows users to subscribe, +unsubscribe, etc. over the web. Even the list manager can administer +his or her list entirely from the web. Mailman also integrates most +things people want to do with mailing lists, including archiving, +mail-to-news gateways, integrated bounce handling, spam prevention, +email-based admin commands, direct SMTP delivery (with fast bulk +mailing), support for virtual domains, and more. + +

+Mailman runs on most Un*x-like systems, is compatible with most web +servers and browsers, and most SMTP servers. Mailman requires +Python version 1.5 or newer. +Python is a free object-oriented scripting language. A few files are +written in C for security purposes. + +

The manual is still only a set of READMEs provided in the Mailman +distribution. For now, more information can be found at +www.list.org. + +

+There are several mailing lists devoted to Mailman, which also provide +nice demonstrations of Mailman! + +

+ Mailman Announce is a read-only list that you can subscribe to + if you are only interested in release notices and other important + news. Only the core Mailman developers can post messages to this + list. + +
+ Mailman Users is the mailing list to subscribe to if you are + using Mailman at your site, and may have problems or questions + relating to installation, use, etc. We'll try to keep the deep + technical discussions off this list. + +
+ Mailman Developers is the mailing list to use if you are + interested in helping us develop Mailman, discuss future + directions, etc. This is the list for more in-depth technical + issues. + +
+ Mailman Checkins is an adjunct list to the publically + accessible read-only CVS repository. This list is for the + hardcore developers, or anybody else submitting patches, since we + really prefer such patches to be generated against the latest + snapshot. This is a read-only list; only the core Mailman + developers can post messages to this list. There is no archive. +
