Paraphrasing the website:
|
|
|
|
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.
