After nearly two years of development, we are happy to announce the

users to manage email mailing lists and e-newsletters.  Its integrated

more.

Mailman 2.1 is fully internationalized, supporting 17 languages
out-of-the-box.  A summary of additional new features in Mailman 2.1
is outlined below.  The NEWS file in the source distribution contains
more details about all the new features.
