Mailman documentation
Some Mailman documentation is available on these wiki pages and some is available on the Mailman website. In general though, this wiki will have the most up-to-date documentation as it's much easier to edit these pages than push out new web page documentation.

If you have a particular problem you need solving, the fastest way to find the answer is usually to search the wiki documentation. Try that first!
