GNU Mailman
Mailing list management and e-newsletter distribution software
GNU Mailman is free software for managing email discussion lists and e-newsletter mailing lists. It provides web-based interfaces for subscribers and list owners, and integrates with common mail server setups.
Key Features
- Web-based subscriber preferences and list administration
- Moderation and content filtering for posts and attachments
- Built-in archiving for mailing lists
- Digest delivery modes for subscribers
- Automatic bounce processing and subscription management
- Spam mitigation features and configurable filters
Use Cases
- Running community discussion lists for open source projects or clubs
- Operating announcement and newsletter lists for organizations
- Hosting internal mailing lists for teams with moderation and archives
Limitations and Considerations
- Mailman 3 is a suite of components (core, web UI, archiver) and typically requires more integration work than a single all-in-one mail server package
GNU Mailman is a mature, widely used mailing list manager with strong administrative controls and automation around subscription and delivery management. It is well-suited for organizations that need reliable email list operations with web-based self-service and moderation capabilities.
