[Mailman-Developers] courier-to-mailman.py

[Lindsay Haisley]

I just got an email from a fellow in Germany wanting to know where he
could find courier-to-mailman.py, a script I contributed to mailman some
time ago and which is included in the distribution, but apparently not
parsed for replacement tokens and installed in the contrib directory at
install time.

It might be a good idea to patch configure.in with the proper line to
take care of this:

--- configure.in.old	2012-03-12 13:41:57.512455181 -0500
+++ configure.in	2012-03-12 13:42:21.252451587 -0500

... and run autoconf so that the distributed configure file reflects
this change.

You have the equivalent script for qmail properly generated, but not the
courier script.  Qmail is pretty much obsolete these days, while courier
is under active development and is widely used, notably outside the US.
I've been using the courier-to-mailman.py script for the better part of
10 years.
