Installation question
Hello,
My organization has contracted with a consultant for computer server resources. The consultant in turn, is contracting with the actual provider of computer hardware and communication resources. Our consultant does not have Root access on the server.
Is it absolutely necessary to have root access to install Mailman?
Do we have any other options to ensure a successfull installation?
Thank you,
Dana

Contract out the computer resources to a place that will provide Mailman services via software they've already installed for you, get the provider to install the software for you, or go to a place that lets you have root access on your own virtual server.

Not just MM, but pretty much any package you want to install.
