<h3>Downloading</h3>

Mailman is available from the following sources:

<ul>
    <li><a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=103">SourceForge</a>
    <li><a href="http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mailman/">GNU</a>
    <li><a href="http://www.list.org/mailman.tar.gz">List.Org</a>
</ul>

<em>If you're using a command line FTP client, be sure to set the mode
to binary</em>.  Once you've downloaded the source tarball, you can
unpack it with the following commands:

<blockquote>
<pre>
% cd /usr/local/src
% tar zxf mailman.tar.gz
</pre>
</blockquote>

Note that the file name may have the version number in it,
e.g. <code>mailman-2.1.tar.gz</code>.

<p>Mailman's tarball unpacks into a directory called
<code>mailman-xyz</code> where <em>xyz</em> is the version number.
Note also that some versions of <code>tar</code> don't accept the
<em>z</em> option.  In that case, you'll need to use the
<code>gunzip</code> program like so:

<blockquote>
<pre>
% gunzip -c mailman.tar.gz | tar xf -
</pre>
</blockquote>
