The only way public can find your mailing list is by: 1- Placing it in your web site 2- Advertise it on other public newsgroups 3- Mail the URL to all of your clients http://www.<host>/mailman/listinfo/ will reveal nothing
False.
Unless you edit the "~/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/listinfo.py " file and add your lists URL dodgy but it will work. Better option is to put the list on your web site with full link like this http://www.<host>/mailman/listinfo/doc http://www.<host>/mailman/listinfo/examples http://www.<host>/mailman/listinfo/programming and so on
Example:
https://www.kanga.nu/lists/listinfo/
(Yeah, its "lists" instead of "mailman" -- its just a custom Apache conf, nothing more).
More traditional example:
http://lists.svlug.org/lists/listinfo/
There no custom editing of files required or done in either case. The list of lists is dynamically generated.
Please don't spread FUD.

Since we're on this subject of the generated mailing list page, this is the only place where I seem to have had an error in installing this package ... The mail-owner@domain.com email address last listed on this page has the domain name of the person who set up the RPM ... I have checked config files and don't see where I could change this ... Can someone please point me in the right direction?
By the way, if your lists are private, they will not be on this page ... If that's why this person's lists don't show up on this page, then why would you want top advertise private mailing lists? I think that's the exact point of these options ... I think it's awesome that mailman does this page for you ... and weeds out the private lists to boot ... One less html file for me to edit ...
TIA
