Mailman 2.1 - Mailing list manager with built in Web access.

Mailman is software to help manage email discussion lists, much like Majordomo and Smartmail. Unlike most similar products, Mailman gives each mailing list a webpage, and allows users to subscribe, unsubscribe, etc. over the Web. Even the list manager can administer his or her list entirely from the Web. Mailman also integrates most things people want to do with mailing lists, including archiving, mail news gateways, and so on.

When the package has finished installing, you will need to:

* Run /var/mailman/bin/mmsitepass to set the mailman administrator password.

* Edit /var/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py to configure Mailman for your site.

* update Mailman list files to new verson by running: /var/mailman/bin/update

* As of mailman version 2.1 mailman requires a service (daemon) to be run for mailman to operate. RedHat does not ship RPM's that enable services as part of package installation. You will need to enable the mailman service if you want mailman to run.

To enable the mailman service after package installation you may run the "serviceconf" GUI tool, or you may do the following on the command line as root.

/sbin/service mailman start

To have the mailman service automatically start at certain run levels (replace the runlevel below with your desired run levels, for example to start mailman at run levels 3 and 5 runlevel would be 35:

/sbin/service --level runlevel mailman on

Users upgrading from previous releases of this package may need to move their data or adjust the configuration files to point to the locations where their data is.
