Thanks for the tip. Making list_exists() lie in order to prevent the creation of undesirable lists seems like a kluge, though. Wouldn't it be better to have a function, like acceptable_list_name(), and then ensure that the appropriate Mailman functions call it as well as list_exists()? The acceptable_list_name() function could read variables out of mm_cfg.py to control its operation; hacking on Utils.py wouldn't be necessary at all. > Alternately, as the code points out, you could simply create a > directory under ~mailman/lists/ and then "touch config.db" in that > directory: > mkdir ~mailman/lists/postmaster > touch ~mailman/lists/postmaster/config.db But that causes ~mailman/bin/genaliases to die, which is unacceptable, because (at least for now) I'm using ~mailman/bin/genaliases to automatically integrate Mailman's aliases into sendmail.
