- Just another checkpoint commit in the cleanup of the Mailman port. - Add a (non-standard) $PKGOPTS file (currently $FILESDIR/pkg-opts) to document the user configurable build time variables supported by the port. Add a target "options" to Makefile to display build time options in a human readable format. Remove reams of comments from Makefile - superseded by $PKGOPTS. - Clean up the killing of running qrunner processes in $PKGDEINSTALL. - Bump the $PORTREVISION. (Yes, again.)

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.
- Update port to 2.0b6 - Allow mailman user/uid/install dir to be overridden - Add WWW

- Update author's email address in $DESCR. - Update $PKGREQ to depend explicitly on Python >= 2.1.3, and not just >= 2.1 - Document required value of $MAIL_GID for Exim4. - Substantial rewrite of $PKGINSTALL: - Simplified layout. - More extensive error checking. - More expressive and user-friendly output. - Substantial rewrite of $PKGDEINSTALL: - Simplified layout. - More expressive and user-friendly output. - Delete %%MAILMANDIR%%/data/last_mailman_version in DEINSTALL, and restore it in POST-DEINSTALL if the entire Mailman installation has not been removed. This file is required by Mailman's update script (run as part of the installation procedure) to update active mailing lists. - Delete the errorlog if it is the only existing logfile. This will finally allow the mailman port/package to be completely and cleanly deinstalled when there are no active lists or updated configuration. - Bump $PORTREVISION, with apologies to those tracking the port. It should now finally be possible to update a Mailman installation with active mailing lists simply by deinstalling the port/package, and reinstalling a later version (or by using portupgrade(1)). There are still no guarantees, though, and a backup is thorouhly recommended.
