	Mailman is open source, yes.

	But you may also be interested in the page at 
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.040.htp>.

	Go to the web interface for the list, go to the "Membership 
Management" page, then down to the "Mass Subscription" sub-page. 
Cut-n-paste your addresses there.  Or use the command-line tools as 
detailed in 
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.009.htp>.

	You really should read the entire FAQ at 
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=index>, and use the FAQ 
Wizard at <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py> to search for 
terms.  You should also search the archives of the list, via the 
instructions at 
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.018.htp>.

	See <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.017.htp>.
