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:
What I've found:
My questions:
Context:
Has anyone successfully integrated Mailman with modern DirectAdmin? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

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:
- DirectAdmin natively includes Majordomo, not Mailman
- Old forum threads from 2008-2016 showing manual Mailman compilation
- Mentions of an internal panel in DA Evolution, but unclear what it actually provides
- No clear path for Mailman web interface access (/mailman/admin or /mailman/listinfo)
My questions:
- Does DirectAdmin Evolution have native Mailman support, or only Majordomo?
- If there's a panel for mailing lists in DA-EVO, does it provide Mailman functionality or just Majordomo management?
- Is there an official/supported way to install Mailman with DirectAdmin in 2025?
- 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!
