So the mm3 equivalent would probably be a new variable in the [mta] section of the mailman.cfg file. Note that the defaults for mailman.cfg live in the src/mailman/config/schema.cfg file, so that's where you'd add this. Note too that these control global system-wide configurations, so if there's any reason why you'd want to have different keys for different mailing lists, it can't go there (but I don't see why that would be so I won't describe the alternative). Also, of course the key will live in plain text in the deployed mailman.cfg file, but it sounds like that's not a problem. >One caveat/issue with the work I've done so far is that it requires the >python-crypto module.

Nope, Mailman doesn't officially run on Windows. :) OTOH, I would make this feature conditional on the module being importable, so it won't be required even on *nix systems. >Thanks for the coaching on setting up virtualenv! No problem, good luck! Don't forget too, that if you can do IRC and need more real-time feedback, I usually hang out on freenode's #mailman channel during US/Eastern working hours. You need to ping my nick (the always clever and hard to guess 'barry' :) to get my attention though. -Barry _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
