    Requirements

    -You must have a mail server (MTA) that you can send messages to, and a -web server that supports the CGI/1.1 API. -Apache makes a fine choice -for web server, and MTAs such as -Postfix, -Exim, -Sendmail, and -qmail -should work just fine. - -

    You will need an ANSI C compiler to build Mailman's security -wrappers. The -GNU C compiler -gcc 2.8.1 or later is known to work -well. - -

    You must have the -Python -interpreter installed somewhere on your system. Currently Python 2.1 -or newer is required, with Python 2.3.3 being recommended. Mailman -should work with latest patch release on any Python branch from 2.1 to -2.3, which as of this writing (31-Dec-2003) is -Python 2.1.3, -Python 2.2.3, and -Python 2.3.3. +See the requirements page for the list of +pre-requisites.
