Last time I looked at this, Mailman checked for the existence of a config file in the ~mailman/lists/<listname>/ directory. If no config.db, config.pck, or config.bak existed in this directory then it created the <listname>. It did not check the aliases files. (Apologies to Jon Carnes. I meant to reply to the list) My understanding is that the MTA checks the alias file and sends the mesage to the appropriate Mailman install, according to the alias file. Here's my question: How do you install multiple instances of Mailman? I'm using SuSE Professional 8.1 with Mailman 2.0.13 and would like to install 2.1.4 concurrently.
