Hello,
If I want to access the mailman pages thru a different url (like http://somehost/cgi-bin/mailman/, the cgi-bin directory has a symlink to mailman/cgi-bin) the cookie authentication is problematic.
Yup -- we wouldn't want browsers to send out Mailman cookies unless they actually are getting a Mailman page. Thus, the "path" setting of the Mailman-issued cookies are set to whatever the path part of mm_cfg.DEFAULT_URL is (i.e. normally "/mailman").
Ah, thanks, it actually works. Btw I thought it should be enough to set the base url in the general options section.
