    I’m running multiple virtual hosts with modern Apache with https on my own remote server running Debian. My DNS provider is Namecheap.

    Here a happy user and happy admin of mailman.
    But because it is python2 based, I tired mailman3.
    Current still a happy user and happy admin of mailman,
    but stuck on a Bullseye system.

    Thanks for reminding me

    My plan is to go for mailman2-python3 on a Bookworm system.

    The 'still happy with mailman' should be read
    as 'NOT happy with mailman3', for what it is worth.

    Yes, I also used Mailman2, but hoped MM3 would cure its warts—unfortunately it ruined it for me.

    Maybe I should revisit it.

    Just do it. And when there is something to share with the mailinglist,
    share it with the right amount context.

    I'm one of the stubborn hold-outs still running their own email servers
    (down with the outlook/gmail duopoly!). Running a mail server definitely doesn't fall under the category of "simple" though. You have to deal
    with SPF, DKIM, DMARC, etc. Nevertheless, I have several email lists
    running on:

    * Debian Bookworm
    * Exim
    * Procmail
    * SmartList[1]

    SmartList lists are just text files[2] so it's easy to programmatically add/remove emails.

    Ok, Ryan, I have installed all on my remote server. Fingers crossed and jumping into the waters!
