Usefulness should not be determined by a single individual (who disappointingly abandoned so quickly his New Year resolution to be courteous) in the absence of a published criteria subjected to peer review. Such robust comments might detrimentally deter others writing to this wonderfully informative and helpful mailing list. I use Centos 5.5 which is derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux. On http://www.exim.org/howto/mailman21.html is:- # Home dir for your Mailman installation -- aka Mailman's prefix # directory. # By default this is set to "/usr/local/mailman" # On a Red Hat/Fedora system using the RPM use "/var/mailman" # On Debian using the deb package use "/var/lib/mailman" # This is normally the same as ~mailman MM_HOME=/var/mailman (1) The correct data for Centos, and by implication for Red Hat and Scientific Linux (the CERN derivative of Red Hat) is currently:- MM_HOME=/var/lib/mailman because /var/mailman is non-existent and /var/lib/mailman exists. (2) The above line > # This is normally the same as ~mailman is possibly erroneous. The command:- echo ~mailman produces: /usr/lib/mailman on Centos 5.5 yet the actual location sought, because MM_HOME is used in:- MM_LISTCHK = MM_HOME/lists/${lc::$local_part}/config.pck and MM_LISTCHK appears in the router:- mailman_router: driver = accept domains = u6.u226.com require_files = MM_LISTCHK local_part_suffix_optional local_part_suffix = -admin : \ -bounces : -bounces+* : \ -confirm : -confirm+* : \ -join : -leave : \ -owner : -request : \ -subscribe : -unsubscribe transport = mailman_transport is /var/lib/mailman because sub-directory lists exists and NOT /usr/lib/mailman where sub-directory lists does not exist. QED Nigel ? Perhaps someone will helpfully amend the documentation possibly including my other minor suggestion. Thank you. Paul.
