Hi Hanno, We've decided to for the time being shelf Mailman completely. We're just about done (should go live with test clients this afternoon) implementing an alternative that we've built in-house to more accurately accommodate for our use-case in any case.
I would recommend proceeding to last-rite Mailman and related packages. Kind Regards, Jaco On 2021/12/25 00:30, Jaco Kroon wrote: > Hi Hanno, > > I've started looking at this mess. And a mess it is.
