</H1>
<P>
GNU Mailman works on most POSIX-based systems such as <span class="Unix">Unix</span>, MacOSX, or
GNU/Linux. It does not currently work on Windows. You must have a mail
server that you can send messages to, and a web server that supports the
CGI/1.1 API. <a class="ulink" href="http://httpd.apache.org"
>Apache</a> makes a fine choice for
web server, and mail servers such as
<a class="ulink" href="http://www.postfix.org"
>Postfix</a>,
<a class="ulink" href="http://www.exim.org"
>Exim</a>,
<a class="ulink" href="http://www.sendmail.org"
>Sendmail</a>, and
<a class="ulink" href="http://cr.yp.to/qmail.html"
>qmail</a> should
work just fine.
<P>
To install Mailman from source, you will need an ANSI C compiler to build
Mailman's security wrappers. The
<a class="ulink" href="http://gcc.gnu.org"
>GNU C compiler gcc</a> 2.8.1 or later is known
to work well.
<P>
You must have the <a class="ulink" href="http://www.python.org"
>Python</a> interpreter installed
somewhere on your system. Mailman 2.1 requires Python 2.1 or newer, although
Python 2.3 or newer is recommended.
