[Mailman-Developers] MM 3.0 build error

[Barry Warsaw]

Hi Pankaj,

Thanks for downloading MM3 and giving it a try.  Please note that the bzr
branch is a little more up-to-date, and I'll be working over the xmas break to
integrate authentication into the REST API.  Once that's done, look for the
first beta early in 2012.

We don't have official Exim integration yet.  We really need an Exim expert to
help us with the integration point, although given that (I believe) Exim
supports LMTP, it might be pretty easy.  We use LMTP to inject messages into
MM3 from Postfix, and of course SMTP to inject messages into the MTA from MM3.

Can you describe the exact steps you took to do the build?  What OS are you
using?  It looks like you're using Python 2.7, which should be fine, but is
that your distro's version of Python or a from-source build?  Have you set up
a mailman.cfg configuration file, and if so, please include its contents.

Cheers,
