Hi,
I'm trying to follow the directions for integrating Mailman with Sendmail, but I think they may be incomplete. It looks like there were orginally some instructions directed at installations like mine (a few users, a few mailing lists, *one* computer), and they were entirely replaced by instructions for installations where an entire host could be dedicated to serving mailman lists. There are oblique references to how much easier the mm-handler method is than the alternative "maintaining lists of aliases" but no details about what that alternative involves.
I don't mind going the mm-handler way if it's more scalable, so I pointed a separate domain, lists.boost-consulting.com, at my server. But now I have to learn about virtual hosting with sendmail and figure out how to integrate my .mc file with the supplied mailman.mc and have the respective settings that are different only apply to the intended hosts. I don't know too much about sendmail (or email protocols in general, really), so this is turning into a big and risky project. Is there anyone here who can help me get this stuff configured without bringing my email system to its knees for too long?
Thanks in advance,
