GNU Mailman is a computer software application from the GNU Project for managing electronic mailing lists.[3][4] Mailman is coded primarily in Python and currently maintained by Abhilash Raj.[1] Mailman is free software, licensed under the GNU General Public License.[4]

History

A very early version of Mailman was written by John Viega while a graduate student, who then lost his copy of the source in a hard drive crash sometime around 1998.[5] Ken Manheimer at Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI), who was looking for a replacement for Majordomo, then took over development. When Manheimer left CNRI, Barry Warsaw took over. Mailman 3, the first major new version in over a decade, was released in April 2015.[6]

Features

Mailman runs on most Unix-like systems, including Linux. Since Mailman 3.0 it has required Python-3.4 or newer.[7] It works with Unix-style mail servers, such as Exim, Postfix, Sendmail and qmail. Features include:

  • A customizable publicly-accessible Web page for each mailing list.
  • Web application for list administration, archiving of messages, spam filtering, etc. Separate interfaces are available for users (for self-administration), moderators (to accept/reject list posts), and administrators.
  • Support for multiple administrators and moderators for each list.
  • Per-list privacy features, such as closed-subscriptions, private archives, private membership rosters, and sender-based posting rules.
  • Integrated bounce detection and automatic handling of bouncing addresses.
  • Integrated spam filters
  • Majordomo-style email based commands.
  • Support for virtual domains.
  • List archiving. The default archiver provided with Mailman 2 is Pipermail,[8] although other archivers can be used instead. The archiver for Mailman 3 is HyperKitty.[9]
