<h3>Mailman, the GNU Mailing List Manager</h3>
Mailman is free software for managing electronic mail discussion and
e-newsletter lists. Mailman is integrated with the web, making it
easy for users to manage their accounts and for list owners to
administer their lists. Mailman supports built-in archiving,
automatic bounce processing, content filtering, digest delivery, spam
filters, and more. See the <a href="features.html">features page</a>
for details.
<p>Mailman is free software, distributed under the
<a href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html">GNU General Public
License</a>. Mailman is written in the
<a href="http://www.python.org/">Python</a>
programming language, with a little bit of C code for security.
<p>The name of this software is spelled <em>Mailman</em>
with a capital leading <em>M</em> and a lowercase second <em>m</em>.
It is incorrect to spell it "MailMan" (i.e. you should not use
StudlyCaps).
<!-- Mailman is gender neutral, low carb, kid safe, drug
free, high octane, slightly lemony flavored... and easier to remember
than <a href="http://www.eve-golden.com/images/FloobsOPT--OK.jpg">Floob
Boober Bab Boober Bubs</a>. -->
<h3>Current Version</h3>
<p>Version
<!-VERSION--->2.1.1<!-VERSION--->,
(released on
<!-DATE--->08-Feb-2003<!-DATE--->)
is the current released version of Mailman, in production at many
sites.
