Actually, Ubuntu has almost no involvement in this. Their Mailman packages come straight from Debian. > I do not know about Centos Mailman, but if Centos has taken 2.1.15 and > retrofitted subsequent security patches, then the 2.1.15 version would > not have all of the non-security (DMARC et alia) enhancements. I'm not certain, but I think the RHEL/CentOS Mailman 2.1.15 has the DMARC mitigations retrofitted. However, I do agree with Barry F that installing Mailman (2.1.or 3) from the GNU Mailman project releases is the way to go. I understand the motivations for using packages (most things on the servers I admin are installed as packages) and if you are comfortable with what the package provides and willing to get your support from the packager, then the package is a viable option. Otherwise, maybe not. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
