    Mailman - The GNU Mailing List Management System
    Copyright (C) 1998-2018 by the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
    51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA
    
    INTRODUCTION
    
        This is GNU Mailman, a mailing list management system distributed under
        the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).  The name of this
        software is spelled "Mailman" with a leading capital `M' but with a lower
        case second `m'.  Any other spelling is incorrect.
    
        Mailman is written primarily in Python, a free object-oriented scripting
        language.  There is some ANSI C code for security purposes.
    
        Mailman was originally developed by John Viega.  Subsequent development
        (through version 1.0b3) was by Ken Manheimer.  Further work towards the
        1.0 final release was a group effort, with the core contributors being:
        Barry Warsaw, Ken Manheimer, Scott Cotton, Harald Meland, and John Viega.
        Version 1.0 and beyond have been primarily maintained by Barry Warsaw with
        contributions from many; see the ACKNOWLEDGMENTS file for details.  Jeremy
        Hylton helped considerably with the Pipermail code in Mailman 2.0.
    
        The Mailman home page is:
    
            http://www.list.org
    
        with mirrors at:
    
            http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman
            http://mailman.sf.net
    
        Mailman 2.1 requires Python 2.4 or greater, which can be downloaded from:
    
            http://www.python.org
    
        It is recommended that you use Python 2.7.9, the latest 2.7 patch release
        as of this writing (10-Feb-2015).
    
        Mailman 2.1 is not compatible with Python 2.2 or any earlier version and
        not all features may work with Python 2.3.
    
        You will also need an ANSI C compiler to build both Python and Mailman;
        gcc (the GNU C compiler) works just fine.  Mailman currently works only on
        GNU/Linux and other Unix-like operating systems (e.g. Solaris, *BSD,
        MacOSX, etc.).  It does not run on Windows, although web and mail clients
        on any platform should be able to interact with Mailman just fine.
    
        See the INSTALL file for installation instructions.  If you are upgrading
        from a previous version of Mailman, you need to read the UPGRADING file
        for important information.
    
    
    FEATURES
    
        Read the NEWS file for a list of changes since version 0.9.  Read the TODO
        file for our (extensive) wish list.  You can see Mailman 2.1 in action at:
    
            http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo
    
        Mailman has most of the standard features you'd expect in a mailing list
        manager, and more:
    
        - Web based list administration for nearly all tasks.  Web based
          subscriptions and user configuration management.  A customizable "home
          page" for each mailing list.
    
        - Privacy features such as moderation, open and closed list subscription
          policies, private membership rosters, and sender-based filters.
    
        - Automatic web based archiving built-in with support for private and
          public archives, and hooks for external archivers.
    
        - Per-user configuration optional digest delivery for either
          MIME-compliant or RFC 1153 style "plain text" digests.
    
        - Integrated mail/Usenet gateways.
    
        - Integrated auto-replies.
    
        - Majordomo-style email based commands.
    
        - Integrated bounce detection within an extensible framework.
    
        - Integrated spam detection, and MIME-based content filtering.
    
        - An extensible mail delivery pipeline.
    
        - Support for virtual domains.
    
    
    REQUIREMENTS
    
        The default mail delivery mechanism uses a direct SMTP connection to
        whatever mail transport agent you have running on port 25.  You can thus
        use Mailman with any such MTA, however with certain MTAs (e.g. Exim and
        Postfix), Mailman will support thru-the-web creation and removal of
        mailing lists.
    
        Mailman works with any web server that supports CGI/1.1.  The HTML it
        generates is quite pedestrian and stingy on the graphics so it should be
        friendly to most web browsers and network connections.
    
        You will need root access on the machine hosting your Mailman installation
        in order to complete some of the configuration steps.  See the INSTALL
        file for details.
    
        Mailman's web and email user interface should be compatible with just
        about any mail reader or web browser, although a mail reader that is MIME
        aware will be a big help.  You do not need Java, JavaScript, or any other
        fancy plugins.
    
    
    FOR MORE INFORMATION
    
        The online documentation can be found in
    
            file:doc/
    
        in the directory in which you unpacked Mailman.
    
        There is a wiki for more community-driven information:
    
            http://wiki.list.org
    
        The wiki includes the online FAQ maintained by the Mailman community,
        which contains a vast amount of information:
    
            http://wiki.list.org/display/DOC/Frequently+Asked+Questions
    
        As well as links to further documentation:
