Exim integration question

Why should the integration with exim be the best? With postfix it works just as well. Jeroenvrp 15:28, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure. Perhaps there is special code in Exim to integrate with Mailman? In my experience administering Postfix you have to add aliases for each Mailman list; the article claims that for Exim you do not need to do this. --FOo 07:04, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can mailman handle multiple domain

Wonder if someone here can hightlight if exim can handle multiple domains. That was what I had come to check out here. May update it once I figure it out — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wk muriithi (talk • contribs) 14:16, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pipermail

article needs to explain why pipermail redirects here. Martin

I was curious. Here is what I found. Maybe this will help until something is incorporated into the article. Jebix 20:27, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pipermail is the bundled message archiver that comes with Mailman. Even though it's bundled, it is fairly separable, although Pipermail is probably more like a parasitic twin than an equal. Mailman in fact, has a very simple interface for hooking in external archivers other than Pipermail, and many people e.g. use MHonArc. [1]

Yes I feel it is a no-brainer that some text such as the quote above should appear in the article, unless there is going to be a separate article for Pipermail. I will check out the appropriability of this text. Jdz (talk) 17:47, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Martin. 79.176.18.215 (talk) 22:23, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

easy to use?

Mailman's chief distinction is its easy-to-use Web interface for list administration. Distinction from what? I find the web interface clumsy and antiquated, compared to yahoogroups, googlegroups etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.162.43.89 (talk) 02:05, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Page move

I don't agree with the recent page move. Parentheses aren't the only way to disambiguate subjects - the old way (using the project's full title) was more sensible. This should be moved back. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 10:26, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have just modified one external link on GNU Mailman. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20151013205802/http://mailman.readthedocs.org:80/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/START.html to http://mailman.readthedocs.org/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/START.html#requirements

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Stewardship information

Is Mailman formally part of the GNU Project? What is it's relationship to the FSF? If this was a commercial product, there would definitely be information here about who has organisational ownership of it (eg who owns the copyright of the source code), and takes legal responsibility for it, not just the engineers responsible for maintenance and development. Even though this is an open source project, I think it's important to include such stewardship information in an encyclopedia article on it. --Danylstrype (talk) 11:39, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
