I think it's probably easier to use aptitude (or some other UI) rather than apt-get. A search at Debian (https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages#search_packages) shows that the current stable version of Debian (wheezy, aka Debian 7) includes Mailman 2.1.15, which is too old to have any DMARC mitigation features. The current unstable version includes 2.1.16, which has some early attempts at mitigating DMARC, but apparently 2.1.17 and 2.1.18 are not packaged at all. > Unfortunately I don't consider myself as good enough in Linux > usage, In that case I think your best bet is to upgrade Debian to "stable" (rather than a specific version of Debian). Then when they release a new stable version you will be automatically upgraded. I personally run "testing" (and have used "unstable" in the past), but it's been many years since I bothered to fiddle with these settings. You should ask on Debian channels how to arrange to get the most recent Mailman as soon as a package is released. See also https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/releasenotes for information on upgrading for your hardware. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
