<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I recommend that you download v 2.0.8 as this is
the current stable version.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I also recommend that you install it on a Linux
box. If you use a standard distribution like Mandrake, you will find that
it comes with an earlier version of Mailman. Previous versions of Mailman
had a bug that would cause them to stop delivering if they received a malformed
bounce email, so you will want the 2.0.8 version.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>4000 email addresses is not a problem for Mailman -
if you run it on a fairly decent machine with adequate internet
access.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Once you have installed Mailman, and followed all
the install directions, then you will create a list and subscribe your email
addresses to that list.</FONT></DIV>
