<p><fontclass="ez">ezmlm-web</font> is a web interface for the administration of <ahref="http://ezmlm.org">ezmlm</a> mailing lists. It allows complete control over their configuration by using a web browser. User-based access control relieves administrators from the burden of managing all their mailing lists on their own.</p>

<h2>History</h2>
The original author of <fontclass="ez">ezmlm-web</font> is Guy Antony Halse. He maintained it up to version 2.1. By then it was functionally complete and convenient.</p>
<p>Since September 02000 no new releases were published.</p>
<p>In January 02005 Guy allowed me to continue the project. I will try to incorporate the suggestions that were send to Guy so far. Additional security improvements and translations will be integrated.</p>
<p>Your suggestions are welcome and will improve <fontclass="ez">ezmlm-web</font> whenever possible.</p>
