Updated timeline for release of Mailman 3
Due to unforeseen technical obstacles, the projected release of Mailman 3 has been delayed. While we expect that Mailman 3 will be available early spring, 2023, we are unable to give a more precise schedule at this time. As we learn more, we will update this page.
We will also communicate with Mailman list owners and administrators to let you know when lists will be moved and any action you need to take. Please direct any questions to help@uw.edu and include “Mailman 3 release” in the subject line for a quicker response.
