That's what I was going to do.

And that :)

ok, i'll rsync them across every 1/2hr or so and hope that the main
server is not unavailable for the time before someone changing a
subscription and the next rsync :)


Are there any mailman developers around here? - a much better solution
would be to turn on a "backup server" option in the config file,
specifying the e-mail address of the list server on the backup server.
What should then happen if this is on, is whenever a list is changed
either with mail commands or the web interface, it should send a mail to
the backup server to make these same changes. This sounds very easy to
implement but would be very useful!


Thanks for your help!


Bye for Now,

Ian
