Is mailman available to the general public? if so, where?
It is indeed: try
http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman.html
It's written in Python (as a Perl person I'll try to restrict myself to
parenthetical and somewhat constricted boa hissssssssssssses), so you'll
need to install a relatively recent version of that first. Looks like
unixesque machines only, a set which might just produce a non-zero
intersection with apple branded OS's in about a month.
It certainly looks like a good replacement for the venerable majordomo,
which is beginning to sag around the jowls. There's been a majordomo 2
coming out for quite some time, and some folk are still working on it
somewhere. In fact, you can read about it and contrast/compare it with
what's in mailman here:
