<h3>Mailman Features</h3>

any of nearly two dozen supported language, configurable
per-site, per-list, and per-user
<li> "Real name" support for members
<li>Much better password-less operation for simple user tasks.

<a href="http://cr.yp.to/proto/verp.txt">VERP</a>-like message
delivery for foolproof bounce detection

<li>Regular expression based topic filtering

<li>Invitations
<li>Autoresponse governors
<li>Users can now change some of their delivery options globally,
for all lists at a site, including their password, delivery
status, real name, etc.
