It is over 10 years old, users’ expectations have changed and their requirements are more sophisticated than the current archiver can deliver on. Mailman3 is the currently under active development and it offers a pluggable architecture where multiple archivers can be plugged to the core without too much pain.</p> <p>Some of the drawbacks of Pipermail :</p> <ul class="simple"> <li><p>It does not support stable URLs.</p></li> <li><p>It has scalability issues (it was not suitable for organizations working with hundred of thousand of messages per day, e.g, Launchpad)</p></li> <li><p>The web interface is dated and does not output standards-compliant HTML nor does it take advantage of new technologies such as AJAX.</p></li> </ul> <p>The HyperKitty archiver addresses most of the drawbacks of Pipermail.</p> </section> <section id="copyright"> <h2>Copyright<a class="headerlink" href="#copyright" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2> <p>Copyright (C) 2012-2019 by the Free Software Foundation, Inc.</p> <p>HyperKitty is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, version 3 of the License.</p> <p>HyperKitty is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
