  • Unfortunately, this doesn't work for me as well. The mailman component cannot be selected at all.

    Edition comparison doesn't describe any pre-requisite.

  • Same here, on Alma Linux 9.5 mailman can't be found in the list of Mail Hosting packages. Neither is on the extensions list in the Plesk panel. 

    so i found this info:
    Mailman 2 relies on Python 2, which is deprecated and not included in modern Linux distributions like AlmaLinux 9. This absence means Mailman 2 isn’t available for installation on these systems. While Mailman 3, compatible with Python 3, exists, it isn’t officially supported by Plesk on AlmaLinux 9 due to the lack of operating system support.
