[Mailman-Users] Fwd: Multiple installations on same server with Exim4and mailman

[Phillip Ryker]

Mark,

That was it!  The <; did it.  Thank you very much for the support.  I
am temtped to write up a tutorial on how to do this since I already
have everything documented I have gone through.  The mailman docs are
outdated.

Thanks so much!!

Phil
