Not much at all, and in fact for many/most configuration options: Nothing. MailMan without the web interfaces is largely crippled and most likely unusuable. I suggest either changing the policy or using another list manager. > And, how do you do away with the web interface? Never install the various stanzas in your web server configs. -- J C Lawrence Home: claw(a)kanga.nu ----------(*) Other: coder(a)kanga.nu --=| A man is as sane as he is dangerous to his environment |=--

Static addies to mailman archive
by Bór József 29 Nov '99

Is it possible to add additional links or comments to the mailman archive HTML pages so that they remain there after the regular re-generation of the archive? Further: Is it possible to import messages which were archivated by other programs into the mailman archive? Thank you for cinsidering my problem. Best regards: Jozsef Bor
