| 10 | Mailjam is a mailing list manager. With it you will be able to create mailing
 | 
|---|
| 11 | lists and manage them.
 | 
|---|
| 12 | 
 | 
|---|
| 13 | Mailjam requires a functional MTA [1]_ (Mailjam has been successfully tested
 | 
|---|
| 14 | with sendmail [2]_ and postfix [3]_ but it should work with other MTA software)

 | 
|---|
| 21 | 
 | 
|---|
| 22 | Mailjam has been designed following a **multi-component structure**. There is 
 | 
|---|
| 23 | **a daemon** that manage the mailing lists and members information in a storage
 | 
|---|
| 24 | backend and there are **different kinds of clients** (currently, three of them)
 | 
|---|
| 25 | that **interact with the daemon using a XMLRPC link**.
