Unlike the Ensim system - where you control Mailman using mailman controls - CPanel expects you to interact with Mailman (and all other running services/apps) via the CPanel controls. You could by-pass that, but then you loose some integration which is important to CPanel. An example of that is that you have aliases and Mail CGI's that CPanel applications and system processes are not aware of - and my accidentally overwrite or deny access to. The selling point for CPanel is it's simplified (and distributed) management of multiple domains on a single box. It's quite a good package, but isn't developed as rapidly as some other projects that mirror it's functionality. Also, it has problems rev-ing applications and services - even in the face of known vulnerabilities. My preference is to use OpenBSD or RH9 and then use other OpenSource tools to manage various domains on a single server. Of course, I'm also a command line junkie.
