    Why not self-hosted?

    One would expect from the open-source software that it should be fine to self-host. It was true for Mailman version 2 indeed. However, Mailman 3 has been developed as a complex modern three-tier web application including full-fledged frontend, backend, and relational database components.

    While the average technical level of Mailman 3 administrators has grown significantly in the last few years, so has the effort and complexity of the application maintenance.

    When self-host, one should be an expert and senior practitioner in quite diverse topics, i.e.:

  • Python development practices
  • Python software lifecycle
  • Django framework
  • Web servers and proxies
  • Relational databases
  • MTA and networking
  • Email deliverability

    Additionally, Mailman 3 administrator should have developer experience and be able to use Mailman 3 Gitlab repository for updates, since the Mailman 3 release cycle is not well defined and Linux distribution packages are outdated, non-existent, or not production-ready.

    This really differs from what we were used to in Mailman maintenance for version 2. And this is why our SAAS offerings exist in the first place.
