Congratulations guys on a nice piece of software!!
Although my earlier posts to this list were problem posts, I don't want anyone to infer that Mailman is problematic. The problem was with sendmail, not Mailman, and now that I've had Mailman 2.1rc1 running for a few days, I can confidently say that Mailman "Rocks!". The developers really deserve a round of applause for their dedication and hard work.
Thanks!!
Keith

After nearly two years of development, we are happy to announce the release of GNU Mailman 2.1. Mailman is free software that enables users to manage email mailing lists and e-newsletters. Its integrated web interface provides easy-to-use access for list members and list administrators. Mailman supports built-in archiving, automatic bounce processing, content filtering, digest delivery, spam filters, and more.
Mailman 2.1 is fully internationalized, supporting 17 languages out-of-the-box. A summary of additional new features in Mailman 2.1 is outlined below. The NEWS file in the source distribution contains more details about all the new features.
For more information on Mailman, including downloading and installation instructions, please visit one of the following mirror sites:
