Downloading

Mailman is available from the following sources: If you're using a command line FTP client, be sure to set the mode to binary. Once you've downloaded the source tarball, you can unpack it with the following commands:
% cd /usr/local/src
% tar zxf mailman.tar.gz
Note that the file name may have the version number in it, e.g. mailman-2.1.tar.gz.

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

% gunzip -c mailman.tar.gz | tar xf -
