[Mailman-Users] Multiple installations almost working

[Dave Melton]

I guess I was just trying to keep things as separate as possible. I
can't think of a good reason not to set it up as you describe, and it
might work better that way.  The end result should be the same, since
the actual Mailman installations are still separate.

I still don't understand why, since PREFIX and VAR_PREFIX are both set 
to the /homes/mailmana, it doesn't look in $PREFIX/lists and find the
data for my list.

Now that I've figured out all the different things that need to be
configured, I may just reinstall under the same UID.GID.  It would be
cleaner, and just might work right for me.

Thanks!
