Mailman, the GNU Mailing List Manager, is an open source software that can be used to manage email discussion lists. It is similar to the Smartmail and Majordomo applications, but it gives to each mailing list its own web page, and allows users to subscribe and unsubscribe to lists over the web.

Mailman also integrates most things people want to do with mailing lists, including archiving, mail-to-news gateways, integrated bounce handling, spam prevention, email-based admin commands, direct SMTP delivery (with fast bulk mailing), support for virtual domains, moderated newsgroup support, privacy and moderation controls, and much more.

What is new in this release:

  • Compatibility:
  • Python 2.7 is now required. Python 2.6 is no longer officially supported. The code base is now also `python2.7 -3` clean, although there are still some warnings in 3rd party dependencies. (LP: #1073506)
  • REST:
  • **API change**: The JSON representation for held messages no longer includes the `data` key. The values in this dictionary are flatted into the top-level JSON representation. The `key` key is remove since it's redundant. Use `message_id` for held messages, and `address` for held subscriptions/unsubscriptions. The following `_mod_*` keys are inserted without the `_mod_` prefix:
  • - `_mod_subject` -> `subject`
  • - `_mod_hold_date` -> `hold_date`

What is new in version 2.1.17:

  • New Features:
  • Handling of posts gated from usenet to a list via the Mail News gateway is changed. Formerly, no list membership, moderation or *_these_nonmembers checks were done. Now, if the sender of the usenet post is a moderated member or a nonmember matching a *_these_nonmembers filter, those checks will be done and actions applied. Nonmember posts from senders not matching a *_these_nonmembers filter are still accepted as before.
  • There is a new mm_cfg.py setting ANONYMOUS_LIST_KEEP_HEADERS. Since it is not possible to know which non-standard headers in a message might reveal sender information, we now remove all headers from incoming posts to anonymous lists except those which match regular expressions in this list. The default setting keeps non X- headers except those known to reveal sender information, Mailman added X- headers and x-Spam- headers. See the description in Defaults.py for more information.
  • i18n:
  • The Japanese message catalog has been updated by SATOH Fumiyasu.
  • Bug Fixes and other patches:
  • Added a reopen command to the sample init.d script in misc/mailman.in.
  • Fixed a misspelling in Tagger.py causing an "unexpected keyword argument 'Delete'" exception.
  • Fixed contrib/qmail-to-mailman.py to work with a user other than 'mailman' and to recognize more listname-* addresses.
  • Fixed a possible UnicodeDecodeError in bin/sync_members.
  • Fixed Makefile to not include $DESTDIR in paths compiled into .pyc files for traceback purposes.
