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. |
