Paraphrasing the website:
|
Adding mailman version 1.1.
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 is a mailing list manager (MLM); that is, software to help manage
|
|
|
|
|
email discussion lists, much like Majordomo, LISTSERV, and the like.
|
|
|
|
|
Unlike most similar products, Mailman gives each mailing list a web page
|
|
|
|
|
and allows users to subscribe, unsubscribe, and change their preferences
|
|
|
|
|
via the web. Even a list manager can administer his or her list(s)
|
|
|
|
|
entirely via the web. Mailman integrates many common MLM features,
|
|
|
|
|
including web-based archiving (though it also has hooks for external
|
|
|
|
|
archivers), mail-to-news gateways, bounce handling, spam prevention,
|
|
|
|
|
Majordomo-style email-based list administration, direct SMTP delivery (with
|
|
|
|
|
fast bulk mailing), digest delivery, virtual domain support, and more.

Mailman is written mostly in Python (with a smattering of C where necessary
|
|
|
|
|
for security purposes), and includes hooks to make it easily scriptable and
|
|
|
|
|
extensible. It is compatible with most web servers and browsers, and most
|
|
|
|
|
mail transfer agents (mail servers). Mailman's documentation may be found on
|
|
|
|
|
its website.
