What is Mailman?

Mailman is the Web-based mail list manager used at Olin College.It allows list owners to create and modify lists easily as well as add and remove subscribers without having to know specific commands. List subscribers can easily modify their list subscriptions and preferences. You may already be familiar with other mail list managers such as ListProc or Listserv. Many people find Mailman more convenient and easier to use than email-based mail list managers.
