I've released version 2.0.13 of Mailman, the GNU Mailing List Manager.
Mailman is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
Version 2.0.13 fixes some incompatibilties with Python 1.5.2 that
crept into Mailman 2.0.12.  This also fixes a minor configure
incompatibility on Solaris platforms (and possibly others).

If you're using Python 1.5.2 with Mailman 2.0.12 you should definitely
upgrade.  The upgrade is safe if you're using newer Python versions
too.  See the NEWS file excerpt below.

GNU Mailman is software to help manage electronic mail discussion
lists.  Mailman gives each mailing list a unique web page and allows
users to subscribe, unsubscribe, and change their account options over
the web.  Even the list manager can administer his or her list
entirely via the web.  Mailman has most of the features that people
want in a mailing list management system, including built-in
archiving, mail-to-news gateways, spam filters, bounce detection,
digest delivery, and so on.

Mailman is compatible with most web servers, web browsers, and mail
servers.  It runs on any Unix-like operating system.  Mailman 2.0.13
requires Python 1.5.2 or newer.  To install Mailman from source, you
will need a C compiler.

For more information on Mailman, including links to file downloads,
please see any of the Mailman mirror web pages:

    http://www.list.org

Patches and source tarballs are available at

    http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=103

There are email lists (managed by Mailman, of course!) for both
Mailman users and developers.  See the web sites above for details.

Cheers,
-Barry
