I am a bit under confusion here, I thought Chain handlers and rules were to be used to create the modules that implement the plug-ins (which i had mentioned in my previous mail, subject:"Approach for plugin ideas"), what I was seeking was how to integrate it with the existing src of mailman in a user's computer. I was wondering how the modules will get connected to mailman src after they are downloaded and installed. Which is by making a config file and setup.py file. Am i missing something here
