   Thanks, noel.   
      
   I found the homepage, but the download links are dead. There seems   
   to be an "unofficial mirror" on github that I've now retrieved and   
   will evaluate.   
      
   The lack of an archive file is a show stopper for me, but I might   
   just be able to add that functionality into the package myself.

   Mailman 3 requires a version of python not "officially" released for   
   Slackware 14.2 (the Slackware release I run on the machine in question),   
   but Mailman 2 can use the python that 14.2 comes with. I haven't got to   
   Mailman yet, but when I do, I'll use version 2.   
      
   Thanks again for your suggestions.
