The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Pinson, Brian" <address@concealed>]

We are generally a RHEL or OEL shop. But, from what I've discovered is Debian 
seems to be the go-to option. Is the Sympa documentation accurate for the 
Debian install? I haven't found that their documentation is the best. 

Thank you so much for you input. We are trying to move away from Mailman and 
Sympa seems promising if I could just get it installed! 😃

The community has several opinions and different infrastructure concerns, so 
there is no general recommendation.

Here is the list of what I prefer:

Distribution: Debian
Web server: Nginx (faster and more consistent than Apache)
Database: PostgreSQL (more mature and less surprises than MySQL / MariaDB) 
Mail server: Exim (but Postfix is fine too)
