[Mailman-Developers] Documentation update needed for Default.py

[Marc MERLIN]

moremagic [mc]# ./rmlist test2
Not removing archives.  Reinvoke with -a to remove them.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./rmlist", line 122, in ?
    main()
  File "./rmlist", line 100, in main
    __import__(modname)
ImportError: No module named None

Mmmh, aaah, ok:
# MTA should name a module in Mailman/MTA which provides the MTA specific
# functionality for creating and removing lists.  Some MTAs like Exim can be
# configured to automatically recognize new lists, in which case the MTA
# variable should be set to None.  Use 'Manual' to print new aliases to
# standard out (or send an email to the site list owner) for manual twiddling
# of an /etc/aliases style file.  Use 'Postfix' if you are using the Postfix
# MTA -- but then also see POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS.
MTA = 'None'

The comments can be misleading, 'None' is really supposed to be ''
I'm guessing others might get caught by this


rmlist foo also says:
re-invoque with -a to remove archives

That said, if  you re-run it with -a,  the list is gone by then  so it can't
remove the archives.
