Hi, I am having trouble installing / enabling mailman in ISPconfig. The server is a fresh install and I configured the server using the "Perfect Server Automated ISPConfig 3 Intallation". When it comes to mailman there is a incompatibility issue with tht APT packages on Ubuntu 24.04 which already is known as issue. Installing mailman3 manually following the virtenv guide at "Virtualenv Installation — Mailman Suite 3.3 documentation (mailman3.org)" works and mailman is now running on my server. There we come to the next issue. According to the Perfect Server Guide I would need to run the command "newlist mailman" - but newlist has been replaced with "mailman create" in the current version of mailman. My qustion is now - how can I confugre ISPConfig to detect mailman and configure it accordingly? Here some info about my server: Code: root@voc01:~# cat htf_report.txt ##### SERVER ##### IP-address (as per hostname): ***.***.***.*** [WARN] could not determine server's ip address by ifconfig [INFO] OS version is Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS [INFO] uptime: 08:45:33 up 1 day, 17:27, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.04, 0.07 [INFO] memory: total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 3.7Gi 3.3Gi 196Mi 134Mi 609Mi 422Mi Swap: 0B 0B 0B [INFO] systemd failed services status: UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION 0 loaded units listed.

Mailman cannot be installed on an Ubuntu 24.04 ISPConfig server, and that's why the auto-installer does not install it. Mailman 3 is not supported by ISPConfig, and Mailman 2 is not available on Ubuntu 24.04.
Thanks Till, this clarifies my issues. However, are there plans to update ISPconfig zu support mailman3 on later OS releases? Just wondering as it seems that mailman2 is not further developed since December 2021.
Mailman 3 is basically completely different software, which means we would have to build a new mailing list function in ISPConfig for it from scratch. As mailing lists are rarely used today, I'm not sure if it makes sense to invest that much money in developing it, as less than 0.1% of ISPConfig users would likely ever use it.
Hello. I trust you are well. Just to touch on this, if I wanted to install mailman on Debian 12 with ISPConfig would it work?
