I have never encountered a document stating that. Again on the "less experienced people", I don't know about that. There is great support on the MM3 Mailing List. MM3 also comes with more features - https://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/features.html > Perhaps that's changed, has it? > I am not able to answer that before I get the answer to my question above.

In what aspects was it not suitable? I have never encountered a document stating that. Of course not, that's my opinion- every time I look at what it takes to install MM3, it seems like a lot of work for the results. If I need to run a few lists of tens of people, I don't want to spend multi-hours doing the setup. Kind of like using a 10 tonne lorry to move a table and chairs; it just doesn't make sense. Perhaps that's changed, has it? I am not able to answer that before I get the answer to my question above. There you have it. MM2 has been quick and easy to install and configure and light on the resources, MM3 appears to need a lot more. (How long does it take to install and configure a complete and usable MM3 installation? What are the resources needed? At one time, I ran MM2 on a 90Mhz Pentium and it did the job; there's a 2006 list post about it.) Did you also know that MM2 relies on Python2.7 (Recommended) which was already EoLed? Um, I've known that for years, thing is MM2 -still-works-! This might be why there seem to be a fair number of MM2 installs out there in production. My first MM2 install was probably 18-20 years ago. z! -- 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...@jab.org
