History

A very early version of Mailman was written by John Viega while a grad student, who then lost his copy of the source in a hard drive crash sometime around 1998[5] Ken Manheimer at CNRI, who was looking for a replacement for Majordomo, then took over development. When Ken left CNRI, Barry Warsaw took over.
