[Mailman-Users] Mailman on OS X Server

[demo]

Its a bitter truth but Apple's position is that " they don't support 'their'
Mailman ". Expect a lot more traffic from drowning MacHeads on this list, of
which I am one.

I find it kind of unethic given that OS X Server is *sold* on the basis that
it has all this cool Open Source software, but in my experience, when you
call up tech support they know nothing beyond pushing buttons. The Mailman
is not even included in free support days.

I had a really simple problem [ hostname incorrect due to setting up X
server prior to knowing domain name ]  and wasted a couple of hours over a
few days with countless techs ending in a semantic debate over what the
support contract included. [ They would not even show me what their
guidelines are ].

There is nothing in the kbase or their inhouse knowledge base and the
frontline are told to merely sell you a paid consultation with professional
tech support services [ for which price you could have bought Communigate ].

No guaranties given your problem with be solved but credit card details
taken. 

Beware!

Good luck!
