I recently received a message about problems with Mailman and CPanel.
www.cpanel.net
It's a commercial tool ($1500/CPU, roughly) for gui access to administration of things. Basically seems designed for the colo/hosting market. One of the tools they've built a widget for is Mailman. That widget seems broken on at least one site.
helping to make sure this is still a viable solution. I know a lot of people use Mailman under CPanel, and I think that's a worthwhile thing to keep available.
I think, given it's a commercial product, that we don't have much responsibility ot make sure cpanel works, not unless they pay for us to support it. They've taken Mailman, attached their system to manage it, and so it's up to cpanel to make sure cpanel works.
I'm perplexed by something the message said though:
After many complaints, support at the host company said this:"Well, mailman has just released a statement that they will not support CPanel-based mailman installations anymore
so am I. Not sure who might have said that. I think the appropriate response is really "we have no relationship with cPanel, and so it's up to cpanel to make sure the product it sells works, and the Mailman team has never been involved with cpanel in any way"
Does anybody know anything about this?
I've seen people asking about it on ListOwners. I've kept my head down because I didn't know what you'd said/done, but it sort of sounds like it's either the cPanel folks trying to blame Mailman for its own problems, or an ISP trying to blame cPanel and/or mailman. I know we've never explicitly supported cPanel in the mailman projects. it seems like cPanel is the crew to bring this up with, not us.
