Title: Downloading Mailman
Links: links.h download-links.h
+<h3>Requirements</h3>
+
+You must have a mail server (MTA) that you can send messages to, and a
+web server that supports the CGI/1.1 API.
+<a href="http://httpd.apache.org">Apache</a> makes a fine choice
+for web server, and MTAs such as
+<a href="http://www.postfix.org">Postfix</a>,
+<a href="http://www.exim.org">Exim</a>,
+<a href="http://www.sendmail.org">Sendmail</a>, and
+<a href="http://www.qmail.org">qmail</a>
+should work just fine.
+
+<p>You will need an ANSI C compiler to build Mailman's security
+wrappers. The
+<a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/">GNU C compiler</a>
+gcc 2.8.1 or later is known to work
+well.
+
+<p>You must have the
+<a href="http://www.python.org/">Python</a>
+interpreter installed somewhere on your
+system. Currently Python 2.1 or newer is required, with the
+latest patch release on any specific branch being recommended. As
+of this writing (10-Nov-2003) that is Python 2.1.3, Python 2.2.3,
+and Python 2.3.2.
