Thanks. Fortunately I'm running a version of OS X server that predates Apple's inclusion of mailman, and I believe I've found the source directory used for the installation (I did not perform the install).
Whew! Then you can ignore everything I said about running Mailman on MacOS X Server. Thankfully.
I have a stupid but quick question: will running
#make clean, #configure --with-mail-gid=daemon #make install
erase my existing lists, or will they be left untouched? If the former, is there a convenient way to backup and re-create the lists post-install?
I think this should be safe, but I'd want a backup of all the mailing lists, etc... just in case. It shouldn't go randomly deleting anything in $MAILMAN_HOME/* unless it's updating a given binary from what it has just built, but I don't feel that you can never be 100% certain.
