Install the source rpm, edit the spec file to your liking, then "rpm -bb 
mailman.spec".  You will end up with a binary RPM than you can then 
install.  The advantages of doing the extra work of generating the 
binary RPM are that you can save the RPM off for future use (rebuilding 
the system or installing on an additional system) and the package is 
recorded in the RPM database for easy verification, dependency 
checking,  or uninstallation
