[ol5_u9_base] mailman-3:2.1.9-6.el5_6.1.i386

Mailman is software to help manage email discussion lists, much like
Majordomo and Smartmail. Unlike most similar products, Mailman gives
each mailing list a webpage, and allows users to subscribe,
unsubscribe, etc. over the Web. Even the list manager can administer
his or her list entirely from the Web. Mailman also integrates most
things people want to do with mailing lists, including archiving, mail
<-> news gateways, and so on.

Documentation can be found in: /usr/share/doc/mailman-2.1.9

When the package has finished installing, you will need to perform some
additional installation steps, these are described in:
/usr/share/doc/mailman-2.1.9/INSTALL.REDHAT

  - bring up to latest 2.1.5 upstream release
    From Barry Warsaw: Mailman 2.1.5, a bug fix release that also
    contains new support for the Turkish language, and a few minor new
    features. Mailman 2.1.5 is a significant upgrade which should
    improve disk i/o performance, administrative overhead for discarding
    held spams, and the behavior of bouncing member disables.  This
    version also contains a fix for an exploit that could allow 3rd
    parties to retrieve member passwords.  It is thus highly recommended
    that all existing sitesupgrade to the latest version
