Start installing Mailman

These are the on-line instructions for installing Mailman from source. You should always double check the README, INSTALL, and UPGRADING files in your Mailman distribution for the most up-to-date information.

Mailman is configured using the standard GNU autoconf software. You first need to prepare your system as outlined in the sections below, and then configure and install the Mailman software.

IMPORTANT: Pay special attention to the step below where you have to set up your crontab entries. If you do not do this, Mailman will not work.

UPGRADING: Upgrading is usually as easy as just installing the new version over the existing installation. However, you should read the notes in the file UPGRADING for important information before you upgrade.
