Hello DirectAdmin community,

I'm working on system administration support across multiple environments (managed/shared servers, various distros, cPanel, DirectAdmin, etc.) and I'm encountering confusion regarding Mailman integration in DirectAdmin.

The Problem:I cannot find clear, current documentation on how to access or install the Mailman web interface in DirectAdmin. I see references to an internal panel within DirectAdmin Evolution, but no actual management interface or installation guide.


Important distinction:
  • I'm looking for Mailman (Python-based, modern mailing list manager with full web UI)
  • NOT Majordomo (Perl-based legacy system that DirectAdmin includes by default)

What I've found:
  1. DirectAdmin natively includes Majordomo, not Mailman
  2. Old forum threads from 2008-2016 showing manual Mailman compilation
  3. Mentions of an internal panel in DA Evolution, but unclear what it actually provides
  4. No clear path for Mailman web interface access (/mailman/admin or /mailman/listinfo)

My questions:
  1. Does DirectAdmin Evolution have native Mailman support, or only Majordomo?
  2. If there's a panel for mailing lists in DA-EVO, does it provide Mailman functionality or just Majordomo management?
  3. Is there an official/supported way to install Mailman with DirectAdmin in 2025?
  4. If manual installation is still required, is there an updated guide for current DA versions?

Context:
  • Running DirectAdmin Evolution
  • Need proper web-based list management (web subscription forms, archives, etc.)
  • Majordomo's email-only interface doesn't meet requirements

Has anyone successfully integrated Mailman with modern DirectAdmin? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks in advance!
