By which you mean what?  What we've learned over the last 30 years is
that when application developers try to do security, they generally
miss something.  AFAICS Mailman 2 did the right thing for its time:
provide minimal security against idle mischief and admit that there
was no security against hell-bent miscreants.  Mailman 3 is taking
advantage of a decade of progress in security and network application
design, and providing the hooks needed to allow admins to configure
system security services.  (This can be done with Mailman 2 as well,
but not as smoothly.)
