+I've attached a utility to interface the Courier MTA with mailman for possible
+inclusion in the contrib section of the Mailman distribution. This is rather
+similar to qmail-to-mailman.py with a few changes to the code to accommodate
+differences between the the two MTAs and a number of changes to the
+instructions in the comments. This script has worked flawlessly for me for
+over 5 years, so it's been well tested.
+
+Note, of course, that a line will need to be added to configure.in (and
+configure, implicitly, via autoconf) to copy the file and replace tokens used
+in the attached script with actual paths.
+
+Courier is actively supported and development on it is ongoing, whereas qmail
+is unsupported and largely depreciated for use in new mail server
+installations.

+# Interface mailman to a Courier virtual domain. Does not require the creation
+# of _any_ list-specific aliases to connect lists to your mail system.
+#
+# Adapted March 29, 2004 by Lindsay Haisley, [email protected] from
+# qmail-to-mailman.py by Bruce Perens, [email protected], March 1999.
+#
+# This is free software under the GNU General Public License.
+#
+# This script is meant to be called from
+# <domain_home>/alias/.courier-default. It catches all mail to any address
+# at a virtual domain not otherwise handled by an explicit account or a
+# .courier file. It looks at the recepient for each mail message not
+# otherwise handled and decides if the mail is addressed to a valid list or
+# not, and bounces the message with a helpful suggestion if it's not
+# addressed to a list. It decides if it is a posting, a list command, or
+# mail to the list administrator by checking for the various address tags as
+# defined in manual Mailman list creation output (~mailman/bin/newlist). It
+# will recognize a list as soon as the list is created. Above and beyond
+# setting up a proper locally-hosted domain in Courier (the use of webadmin
+# is highly recommended!), no other configuration should be required. This
+# program recognizes mail to postmaster, mailman-owner, abuse,
+# mailer-daemon, root, and owner, and routes those mails to MailmanOwner as
+# defined in the configuration variables, above.
+#
+# INSTALLATION:
+#
+# Install this file as @prefix@/bin/courier-to-mailman.py
+#
+# To configure a virtual domain to connect to mailman, create these files:
+#
+# <domain_home>/alias/.courier-listname
+# ... containing ...
+# |/usr/bin/preline @prefix@/bin/courier-to-mailman.py
+#
+# Symlink <domain_home>/alias/.courier-listname-default to this file
+#
+# "listname" is the name of your list.
+#
+# Paths must, of course, be set correctly for the Courier and Mailman
+# installations on your system.
+#
+# Note: "preline" is a Courier program which ensures a Unix "From " header
+# is on the message. Archiving will break without this.
