Glad to hear it! From the looks of it, just
about all of them have made it into the latest
Sympa mdk.rpm (4mdk I think). This should make
future installs for everyone easier.

Yup, found quite a few myself. I plan on going
to the Sympa people directly on this one.
Added myself to all their mailing lists earlier.

Yes, I stumbled across this one late last night
or early this morning (I can't remember) while
I was trying to hack it into submission. I had
set the permissions to 750 and sympa.sympa,
which apparently didn't work. I have a feeling
I don't have suexec working properly.
Supposedly suexec is supposed to make the web
server run as sympa.sympa for that virtual
host. Gonna look at this a little harder
later on.

WWSympa has a really functional and pretty nice
(from what I've seen so far) interface. The web
addition works quite well, haven't tested the
removal yet.

I haven't really looked around at the
competition, I just figured that if Mandrake is
using it, it must be decent. I may have to if I
can't get my current problem solved. I did all
this work to get the web interface up and
running, and I kinda forgot about the mailing
list itself. Right now, it's non functional.
/var/log/mail.log just shows all the mail as
being deffered. Not sure what's going on at the
moment.
