[Mailman-Users] I've built apache, sendmail, mailman successfully, how to make them work?

[Patrick Bogen]

There is a command you can run, 'genaliases' which will print out the
list of lines that need to be added to /etc/aliases. This is the same
list that is printed when you add a list, I believe, if mailman is
configured to do so.
