</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>.

Before you can run Mailman, you need to download and install the
<a href="http://www.python.org/"
>Python programming language (version 1.5 or later)</a>.
<p>The first GNU release is not out yet. For now, you can get the last
pre-GNU beta release
(<!-VERSION--->1.0rc2<!-VERSION--->,
released <!-DATE--->Jun 14 1999<!-DATE--->)
<A HREF="mailman.tar.gz">here</a>.

The <a href="faq.html">Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)</a> is
available to answer most questions. For issues not covered in the
FAQ, please post your questions to the

mailing list. You might also want to check out the

Mailman Users mailing list archive</a> to see if your problem has
already been addressed.

We have several mailing lists devoted to Mailman, which also provide a
nice demonstration of Mailman!
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-announce">
Mailman Announce</a> 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.
<li><a href="http://www.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users">
Mailman Users</a> 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.
<li><a href="http://www.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers">
Mailman Developers</a> 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.
<li><a href="http://www.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-checkins">
Mailman Checkins</a> 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.
<p>You may also want to find a project on our Mailman
<a href="todo.html">TODO list</a>.

Mailman was featured in a
<a href="http://www.sunworld.com/swol-03-1999/swol-03-mailtools.html">
cover story article</a> in the March 1999 issue
of SunWorld. The article was written by Cameron Laird and Kathryn
Soraiz.
<p>Mailman was briefly mentioned in
<a href="http://www.zdnet.com/sr/stories/issue/0,4537,387506,00.html">
a ZDNet article</a> on Linux. This was picked up by
<a href="http://www.msnbc.com/news/244979.asp">MSNBC</a> (I won't
comment on the irony there).

The logo contest has concluded, and by a narrow margin, Dragon's logo
has won. Starting with Mailman 1.0rc1, the standard Mailman generated
web pages will include the logo with a link to www.list.org.
