where is the mailman2 config file loacted - VPS server, running centos 7, WHM / cpanel 106.0.13,
Where is this file - wanting to change the mailman db to use Mariadb and there is supposed to be a config setting where I can change the db that mailman uses
Thanks, Pineyscritper

You might be thinking of Mailman3; most Mailman2 info is kept in python "pickles" (.pck) although a little is in .db files. (There is no one database in mailman2.)

Mailman2 never quite used a RDBM. Mailman3 does, but I haven't heard about it being supported on cPanel.

I had contacted CPANEL about that and it seems they are getting hung up on that they don't yet have an "upgrade" to mailman 3 option that would also convert current mailman 2 lists in production to mailman 3 .... I suggested that maybe they could at least offer an option to install mailman 3 as a "new" install with the cavet that any current mailman 2 lists would have to be ported over to mailman 3 manually ... have not heard back from them about that suggestion .... although they did note my suggestion ....
So here is the problem that I am trying to solve - I can automate adding /removing users to lists and addiing/removing lists ... but I don't see anyway to automate the setting of the moderation flag on or off for adding email addresses to: List of non-member addresses whose postings should be automatically accepted. (Sender Filters)
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks, JerryB

If you have shell access to mailman, many things can be scripted using things in the ./bin/ directory- add_members, config_list, newlist, withlist, etc.
Without shell access, I think you're kinda limited to the interfaces that cpanel provides and to the mailman web pages.
Later,
z! who doesn't use cpanel, so doesn't know that much about it

See https://wiki.list.org/DOC/Mailman%20and%20CPanel
If you have command line access to the server you can run /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/bin/withlist to do almost anything.
See the withlist script at https://www.msapiro.net/scripts/set_mod.py for setting moderation for members.
See the script at https://www.msapiro.net/scripts/non_members for adding/removing addresses to/from *_these_nonmembers.
Also see the standard /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/bin/config_list script.
