Hello, Can anyone give me a tutorial step-by-step (for dummies...) instructions for installing the mailman with an external smtp (gmail or some other)?
Thanks in advance, Julio

For outgoing mail you need to set SMTPHOST and possibly SMTPPORT in mm_cfg.py, and if your outgoing server requires authentication, you need a patch along the lines of the one at <https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/558281>.
For incoming mail, you need to arrange for the mail server to accept mail for all list addresses and arrange some way to get this mail from the mail server to Mailman. How you would do this depends on the mail server as well as other considerations. No step by step is possible without knowing what the external server is and what tools are available on your mailman server.
