[Mailman-Users] Security features of Mailman

You need to say against what threats you want to protect your discussions. I can say this much: Mailman 3 does try to provide good authentication of users and a consistent model of authorization for access to its databases (user profiles, list user rosters and configuration). Mailman 2 does not. Neither Mailman 2 nor Mailman 3 tries to provide cryptographic security (encryption or authentication) of list traffic, on the wire or at rest (ie, in archives). Other than that, you have to define what you mean by "safe", and then I can tell you whether Mailman can satisfy that requirement and what you have to sacrifice to get it.

It cannot guarantee the safety of anything! Only you, the Sysadmin, can guarantee that by locking it from venturing outside and roaming around the server environment :-) -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 "Oh, the cruft.", egrep -v '^$|^.*#' ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ :-) [How to ask smart questions: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html] -- Mailman-Users mailing list -- mailman-users@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to mailman-users-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.python.org/ Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/ https://mail.python.org/archives/list/mailman-users@python.org/ Member address: arch...@mail-archive.com
