[Mailman-Users] New to Mailman, need help

[Jon Carnes]

Oddly enough there doesn't seem to be any Sendmail integration (addition
of the aliases when added via the web interface) - though it works for
Postfix (after some setup).

Note, you can add the integration yourself.  At one site I simply
spoofed the Postfix integration and made it work with Sendmail.

As to adding the aliases after the fact, that's no problem.  Look at the
existing ones (you should have a "mailman" one at the very least) and
simply copy that one's aliases then substitute your lists name for the
copied lists name.

To see how to use Virtual hosts, look in the file
~mailman/Mailman/Defaults.py (but make your changes to mm_cfg.py)
It's fairly simple and there are *lots* of examples in the archives (if
not in the FAQ).

Good Luck - Jon Carnes
