</td>

<tr>
<td>
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, and so on. See the 
<a href="features.html">features page</a>
for a brief overview of features.<p>

Mailman has all of the features you expect from such a product, plus
integrated support for the web (including web based archiving),
automated bounce handling and integrated spam prevention.

<p>Mailman is free software.  It is distributed under the
<a href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html">GNU General Public
License</a>.

<a href="http://www.python.org/"

pre-GNU beta release
(<!-VERSION--->1.0b8<!-VERSION--->,
released <!-DATE--->Jan 14 1999<!-DATE--->)
