There are certain commands that root needs to execute. For example on when you create the mailing list aliases, root needs to rebuild the aliases (at least on sendmail you do, no experience with exim and i just installed postfix so i'm learning it now). Apache conf files need to be modified as well. So its not very possiable to install it without root, but once installed, root isn't needed much. You can always setup a mailman alias file which sendmail reads from ~mailman which would cut down the root intervention. But if someone else out there has successfully installed a non-root mailman installation do let the world know. > And, how large is the untarred directory?
