I am currently using Mailman on Redhat 8.0 and to be honest it was a pain for me to get that to work with the redHat version of htDig which as it turns out was a beta version released as 3.2. I am not looking to start a religious war but am considering switching to MacOSX Server from RedHat. My current hardware is on its last legs and RH8 is no longer supported. From the perspective of Mailman and htDig, am I making a mistake? I think server comes with MM2.1.2 I doubt it comes with htDig. I am marginally skilled with RH Linux and BSD. Will be easier or more difficult to configure MM and htDig on the Mac than RH. I run only a handful of lists that have 50 to 500 users.
Setting Mailman up on Mac OS X Server is a breeze. I wrote a couple of articles on it for AFP548.com, though if you have had success on RedHat you probably won't need them :)
Coincidentally, I upgraded my Server from 10.2 to 10.3 yesterday. Migrating mailman consisted of:
symlinking my original ~mailman directory to /var/mailman (My installation goes WAY back)
re-running check-perms -f a few times
After that, my existing lists popped up in Server Admin right off the bat. You still have access to configuration via the Web interface, which is HIGHLY recommended because their GUI is basically limited to making a new list and managing user subscriptions.
