So, where is > it? Is it in the pickle file, but not dumped? Well, what I said works either with or without the NOT...some values are in the only for new lists category; some aren't. It does take a while to get used to the paradigm...but what is gained is the ability to update to a newer Mailman without losing your local values (for both the only-applies-to-new-lists things and the others). The dumpdb program isn't smart enough to censor things...if it doesn't show up, it's not in the list's file. > No, there aren't any comments regarding this.

See the comments in that file >> # for details. I didn't say to put anything into Defaults.py. But you often want to look there, since that is where the variables are found, with comments, which you can copy into mm_cfg.py for modification. (I always copy the comment along with the varible name.) Sample comments from Defaults.py: ##### # General system-wide defaults ##### ##### # Virtual domains ##### # Set up your virtual host mappings here. [several skipped] ##### # List defaults. NOTE: Changing these values does NOT change the # configuration of an existing list. It only defines the default for new # lists you subsequently create. ##### So...you would look in this section for the values which affect only new lists. And more... ##### # Digestification defaults. Same caveat applies here as with list defaults. ##### And more ##### # Bounce processing defaults. Same caveat applies here as with list defaults. ##### And the a couple more without the "Same caveat" note, and then a section you should clearly leave alone (although it can be very useful as a reference). ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/
