    The version of mailman that comes with CentOS / Plesk (v2.1.12) is woefully behind reality.  This version doesn't support SPF / DKIM / DMARC, which is **completely ESSENTIAL** in today's email sending environment.  The minimum version needed is v2.1.18, with the latest version available being v2.1.23.

    The answer to this question is therefore utterly wrong and outdated.  What is more concerning is that it was created in November 2016.  SPF / DKIM / DMARC adoption was high enough many years before this date to warrant using a newer version of mailman.

    Hello, Plesk uses maiman that comes with OS, for CentOS 7.3 it's 2.1.5. If you would like to take part in our product improvement, please place this request at: https://plesk.uservoice.com/forums/184549-feature-suggestions

    Yes, there was a typo: Centos 7 comes with Mailman 2.1.15. And as for now, Plesk uses OS version of Mailman.
    Please vote for this suggestion, the most demanded ones are likely to be included in the next Plesk versions.

    This Article is outdatet. Seems that Plesk does not ship this extension anymore. They should remove any stuff in their documentation regarding mailman. Poor.
