As the author of the document referenced in the FAQ on installing Mailman on
client Mac OS X, there are some significant changes for Leopard. I posted an
update on 10/29/07 titled "Mac OS X Leopard upgrade experience" which should
be findable in the archives.

I do have one ongoing problem which is the Mailman startup, when started as
part of system boot, fails about 2/3 of the time with the "stray process"
message mentioned in the note referenced above. My "solution" to it is a
cron job that runs hourly to alert me to missing qrunners (which obviously
is useful for other mailman problems as well) and manually starting it when
necessary.
