I need to get a listserver up and running in one week, and am currently checking out mailman.
My current problem is that I am not familiar at all with mailing list software. (etc etc, standard newbie warning)
The installation procedure for mailman is fairly well documented including shell commands except for one stage: "point an external archiver at the public and private archives" [pipermail].
I can't find anything in the pipermail package that give me any hints about how this should be done, and dejanews have no further hints.
mailman 1.0b5 is installed in /home/mailman pipermail 0.05 is installed in /usr/local/pipermail
if I run; python pipermail.py - nothing happens python hypermail.py - it complains with a message saying it can't open MBOX. mkdir mbox ; python hypermail.py -m /usr/local/pipermail/mbox
I seem to accomplish something. Not sure off what, though. What else should be done? (looking sheepishly)
Thanks
