Hi Hanno, |
2 |
|
3 |
We've decided to for the time being shelf Mailman completely. We're |
4 |
just about done (should go live with test clients this afternoon) |
5 |
implementing an alternative that we've built in-house to more accurately |
6 |
accommodate for our use-case in any case. |
7 |
|
8 |
I would recommend proceeding to last-rite Mailman and related packages. |

|

Kind Regards, |
