Changing Default Options for New Lists
I am running a Web site that is providing free mailing lists for
certain types of organizations.
It uses Mailman 2.1.13.
I want to simplify list creation for new moderators. I have a
desired way by which these lists are to be set up and I want them to be created with these options when a new list is created rather than the way they are configured now.
I haven't been able to figure out how to do this. Does anyone have
any suggestions for me?
Regards,
Fred

Many list settings have default values which can be set in mm_cfg.py. See these settings and their documentation in Defaults.py. I think the names of these settings all begin with DEFAULT_.
Alternatively, you can take the output from bin/config_list -o for a list with the desired setup and edit out all the list specific stuff such as real_name, owner, moderator, description, subject_prefix, etc. and then run bin/config_list -i with that file as input for newly created lists.
