Hi
I run a small list using ezmlm. However a few of the people on there would like me to ditch ezmlm and go over to mailman.
I don't mind doing it if its easy to install and get set up and has as useful a server manager panel as ezmlm.
Can anybody offer me any advice on this?
Go easy on me I'm not a trained admin, I do this as a hobby from home, and although I've been at it a few years I don't have a hugh amount of knowledge!
Cheers

Go to http://chaloner.ca he has a good howto on mailman. I don't know mailman but it is not integrated in the server manager like ezmlm.

Hi
Thanks that is useful.
He mentions a script for a tarball to install containing -
e-smith-mailman-1.0-7.noarch.rpm
htdig-3.1.6-6.i386.rpm
mailman-2.1.3-1.i386.rpm
mhonarc-2.6.8-1.noarch.rpm
However he does not mention who has done this or where it can be found.
Anybody know?
Cheers

Ok here goes...
Right installed it all OK...
Set up a mailing list all worked fine.
Then decided I wanted to do the changfes suggested so i did not have to use lists.mydomian.com
Now I need to delete the list I created in lists.mydomain.com so i can recreate it at mydomain.com
Basically how the flinkin eck do I delete a mailing list.
The FAQ says
"To delete a list via the web interface you must set the variable OWNERS_CAN_DELETE_THEIR_OWN_LISTS to yes in the mm_cfg.py file. It is no by default."
However I've opened all of the files in mm_cfg.py and none of them seem to have this variable so I don't know which one to put it in!
I'm assuming the obvious one would be 10defaults?
Cheers

I made a small script I put in /root/bin called removelist with the following line inside;
/opt/mailman/bin/rmlist -a $1
To use it;
# removelist name_of_your_list
Or manually, simply;
# /opt/mailman/bin/rmlist -a name_of_your_list
(the -a removes all of the archives as well)
