Fedora 21 Mailman 2.1.20 Security Update: Dependency Fix Details

fedora
Calendar Grey April 30, 2015
Dist Fedora Esm H88
The most recent Fedora 22 mailman upgrade resolves dependency issues and improves mailing list manager features, ensuring better protection.
Update to new version 2.1.20

Summary

Mailman is software to help manage email discussion lists, much like

Majordomo and Smartmail. Unlike most similar products, Mailman gives

each mailing list a webpage, and allows users to subscribe,

unsubscribe, etc. over the Web. Even the list manager can administer

his or her list entirely from the Web. Mailman also integrates most

things people want to do with mailing lists, including archiving, mail

<-> news gateways, and so on.

Documentation can be found in: /usr/share/doc/mailman

When the package has finished installing, you will need to perform some

additional installation steps, these are described in:

/usr/share/doc/mailman/INSTALL.REDHAT

Update Information:

Update to new version 2.1.20. Fix dependency on python-dns.
