i pretty much followed setup instructions from, http://maxo.captainnet.net/installs/mailman.html
with a few exceptions:
Cron Issues:
-my Cron daemon would send this message out; shell-init: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Permission denied put the cron jobs into user 'root' instead of 'mailman'
%cd /usr/local/mailman/cron/
%crontab -u mailman crontab.in << use this instead >> %crontab -u root crontab.in
-Sendmail enabler - a great utility to get sendmail running on Mac OS X and save you a bunch of time:
http://www.roadstead.com/weblog/Tutorials/SMSource.html Sendmail enabler is nice because you don't have to edit the sendmail.cf local-hosts and aliases config files(which really isn't that difficult). it also repairs directory perms as well. add your domains and aliases to the appropriate windows under the "option" button.
-after any change to your aliases file run %newaliases to sync the aliases.db file with aliases. this keeps sendmail happy
-sendmail needs to have a sym link to the mailman wrapper. except, i never found a mailman wrapper file. instead, i created a link to /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman inside of /usr/adm/sm.bin (i had to create /adm/sm.bin) i tried the default dir of /usr/sm.bin but that didn't work. create the link inside
[/usr/adm/sm.bin] % ln -s /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman
-make sure mailmanctl is running [wo1:local/mailman/bin] % ./mailmanctl start
-i downloaded mailman startup script from : (can't find this right now... i'll reply with the link)
-another helpful link: http://www.afp548.com/Articles/Jaguar/mailman21-new.html
-after setting up your first list run %check_perms -f to fix perms... as some get messed up.
