[Mailman-Users] 14 hours and still not there

[Jon Carnes]

Looks like you are setting up Mailman in a chrooted environment.  This
is not for the faint of heart.  I've done a few of these and they take a
lot of tweaks to setup properly.

The only real advice I can give is to take it slowly and test each step.
If you understand what mailman is doing and how chrooted environments
work then you will persevere

Good Luck - Jon Carnes
