I'm happy to announce the release of Mailman 3.0 alpha 4.
Things are getting quite real now. It's pretty easy to hook Mailman
up to Postfix for both incoming and outgoing mail[1] and you can
create mailing lists and populate them with addresses. Currently, you
must do this through the command line though.
Please download the latest tarball or grab the bzr branch, and put it
through some paces. Now is a good time to comment on the design and
feature set for Mailman 3 as we are still in alpha. I'm still planning
on releasing a first beta by the end of the year -- your testing,
feedback, input, and contributions can help with that!
You can download the tarball either from the Cheeseshop, or Launchpad:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/mailman/3.0.0a4 https://launchpad.net/mailman
Please note: Mailman 3.0a4 is not production ready yet.
Enjoy, -Barry

The build instructions in src/mailman/docs/ALPHA.txt say that you can run bin/test before they go on to describe configuring mailman. I found I had to make a configuration file, and use "bin/test -C <CONFIGPATH>" for the tests to pass.
