I just set up Mailman 2.1.5 with the intention of utilizing the NNTP/Mailman gatewaying process.
Did I miss something?
Thanks.

Good question. I've looked through the web interface and didn't see anything about authorization. I also can't get the NNTP gatewaying to work at all. I'm not sure if there's something I'm doing wrong or my choice of public access servers is just trash.

NNTP_USERNAME = None
NNTP_PASSWORD = None
Is this not what you are discussing?
