Regarding nested mailing lists in mailman 3

Hi, I want to know whether we can setup nested mailing lists in mailman 3 which we used to do in mailman 2. like ep2021@iitb.ac.in,ep2022@iitb.ac.in,ep2023@iitb.ac.in mailing lists exist and we add all this mailing lists as member in ep@iitb.ac.in. Whether this kind of nested mailing lists work ?

It depends on what you mean by "work". As far as I know, Mailman 3 is fully compatible with Mailman 2 for such lists. It is definitely true that mail sent to ep@ will be delivered to all members of ep2021@, ep2022@, and ep2023@. I believe the features of Mailman 2 for improving administration of umbrella lists (like ep@) are all implemented in Mailman 3. (These features mostly have to do with things like how the -owner address is handled.)
For completeness I guess I should mention there are differences having to do with password reminders since we don't send those any more.
