It is here: https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html On this platform, the rule is - IF you don't use the documentation above, then your primary support is your distro's packagers. The official documentation speaks of only 3 files: settings.py, mailman.cf and mailman-hyperkitty.cf (IIRC) and the "quoted here", not quoted there, is something that I remember as referring to mailman-hyperkitty.cfg and settings.py. Those who prefer not to lose hair scratching their heads do follow https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html. It doesn't address everything, but it's quite close. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 In an Internet failure case, the #1 suspect is a constant: DNS.
