You have the source, so anything's possible. :) What you need to do depends on questions like: - do you want to turn off the entire email robot interface, including the leave and subscribe addresses? - do you want to turn it off for all your lists, or just some of them? There's no easy way to do this, but with a little hacking it's possible. Be careful not to turn off the bounce processor, or the -confirm address (well, maybe you want to turn that off too and just confirm via the web). Things to look at include the CommandRunner which handles all email robot commands, and the various aliases that normally get added. > 2. How does mailman store stateful information like auth credentials and > passwords? Everything's stored in a Python pickle, specifically lists/yourlist/config.pck. Admin passwords are stored as sha1 hashes, user passwords are stored in clear text (likely to change in the next release). The site password and list creator's password are stored in separate files, also hashed. > 3. Can we send the archives to a remote machine without using NFS. This isn't a supported configuration, but you can hook into the external archiver support to create your own mechanism for sending archivable messages to a remote process. See Defaults.py for details. HTH, -Barry
