Mailman 3 documentation

Mailman 3 is still pretty new, and most of the docs are built with the packages: Links to all the docs

Unlike Mailman 2, Mailman 3 has been divided into a number of parts:

• Mailman Suite refers to the collection of related Mailman projects that provide all the pieces of a typical mailing list management setup.

• Mailman Core is the part that delivers the emails and handles the mailing list and user data

• Postorius is the web interface that allows users (list members, list admins, moderators) to change their user settings and the settings for their lists.

• HyperKitty is the archiver which provides a web interface to access GNU Mailman v3 archives as well as ways interact with the lists. It can behave a little like a web forum, for those who prefer not to use email.

• MailmanClient is the library that provides official Python bindings for the GNU Mailman 3 REST API. This allows you to write your own front end or scripts for interacting with Mailman. (It's also what Postorius uses to interact with Mailman Core.)

• Mailman Bundler is a tool to help you install all of Mailman Suite via PyPI

A typical install would use all of these pieces together, but they're intended to be modular so you could replace a single piece if you had specific needs.

How do I install Mailman 3?

Right now, the easiest way is probably to use the Mailman 3 bundler.

The Mailman bundler documentation is reasonably comprehensive. It guides you through an initial setup and then gives tips on how to switch it to a production setup. The production documentation hasn't been tested by a huge number of people yet: if you have any suggestions on how it could be improved, please file documentation bugs on GitLab or let us know via the mailman mailing lists.
