[Mailman-Users] Problem to install mailman from source

Yes, thats true. I have cleaned my system and do now everything from the beginning on, I also use another domain.
I do it (nearly) the way that is described in the GNU Mailman Installation Manual.

All right, I thought if I would use the configure-parameter 
(e.g. --with-mailhost=www.tourismus-osnabrueck.de) they would be written automatically in the mm_cfg.py.

So if I have a fresh mm_cfg.py I can write own entries there and 
after starting mailman again they are used??

No. In the moment I just have one mailman installation (installed by source) in /usr/local/mailman.
I not even have sendmail in the moment.
By now I would like to get shure that all with my mailman-installation so far is correct.

If I run /bin/check_perms it looks very good.

If I run /bin/mailmanctl start

I get "missing the mailinglist mailman", surely because I have not installed sendmail and done entries in the /etc/aliases.

This will be next step. 
Thank you very much again, Kai
