I just got an email from a fellow in Germany wanting to know where he could find courier-to-mailman.py, a script I contributed to mailman some time ago and which is included in the distribution, but apparently not parsed for replacement tokens and installed in the contrib directory at install time. It might be a good idea to patch configure.in with the proper line to take care of this: --- configure.in.old 2012-03-12 13:41:57.512455181 -0500 +++ configure.in 2012-03-12 13:42:21.252451587 -0500 @@ -681,6 +681,7 @@ bin/rb-archfix \ contrib/check_perms_grsecurity.py \ contrib/qmail-to-mailman.py \ +contrib/courier-to-mailman.py \ contrib/rotatelogs.py \ cron/bumpdigests \ cron/checkdbs \ ... and run autoconf so that the distributed configure file reflects this change. You have the equivalent script for qmail properly generated, but not the courier script. Qmail is pretty much obsolete these days, while courier is under active development and is widely used, notably outside the US. I've been using the courier-to-mailman.py script for the better part of 10 years. -- Lindsay Haisley | "Everything works if you let it" FMP Computer Services | 512-259-1190 | --- The Roadie http://www.fmp.com |

I have patched configure(.in) as you suggest, but I wonder if this will solve the problem you are trying to address. It will result in a build/courier-to-mailman.py in the 'unpack and configure' directory with the replacement tokens expanded thus putting courier-to-mailman.py on an equal footing with qmail-to-mailman.py, but 'make install' does not install the contrib/ directory in the actual Mailman installation.
Thus, the configured script will only be found in the build/ directory in the 'unpack and configure' directory.
