Mailman Suite

Mailing list manager core, web user interface, web archiver, and REST API bindings

Visit Mailman Suite

Mailman Suite is a set of open-source projects for running mailing lists. It separates list management, web administration, and message archiving into distinct components, allowing each part to be installed and configured independently. The suite is distributed under the GNU General Public License version 3 or later.

The suite comprises Mailman Core, the mailing list manager; Postorius, the web user interface; HyperKitty, the web archiver; Mailmanclient, official Python bindings for the REST API; and the HyperKitty Mailman plugin, which connects the archiver to Core. Django-mailman3 provides Django utilities for the web interface, while mailman-web packages Postorius and HyperKitty together as a single web UI component. Configuration covers the MTA, REST API, databases, cron jobs, full text search, and social login, with migration paths from Mailman 2.1.

Mailman Suite is intended for site administrators and list owners who operate mailing list infrastructure. The documentation includes pre-installation, installation, upgrade, and contributor guides. No specific packaging, trial, or pricing information is stated.
