Just to say that this actually does not work for Apple's OS X Server version 2.1.2 of Mailman ... Good heavens!
It does somethings but I am not sure if it is my shortcomings or the proprietary version's. Adding; OWNERS_CAN_DELETE_THEIR_OWN_LISTS = Yes to /usr/share/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py Adds a new link to the General Options admin page that links to a new page; http://yourdomain.com/mailman/rmlist/mailing That offers you to delete the list and archive. [ n.b deleting a list in the Apple GUI does *not* delete the archive ]. However, doing so brings up a bug report as below and deleting it via the button does *not* delete the list; In fact, I think the inclusion of that line screws up the install a bit, although I am not asking for help here - only feeding back. Doing so, I just tried this on a totally virgin OS X Server install, also adds a new line that says, " If you have the proper authority, you can also create a new mailing list. " on the general list Admin page [ http://yourdomain.com/mailman/admin ]. Again, this looks like it might work but throws up a similar bug report. *However*, it *does* create a List in the GUI *and* web interface. Is there another line I ought to have written out to make this work? [ will check the FAQs later but it is 2 am here and I have to time out ... If anyone is interested in the second bug report I could post it ... I guess it might be hackable. The archives [ /var/mailman/archives/public ] are created but not deleted either way. This seems to be a bit of Apple weirdness for some reason. You seem to have to go in there are manually exorcise them. MA <quote> We're sorry, we hit a bug! If you would like to help us identify the problem, please email a copy of this page to the webmaster for this site with a description of what happened. Thanks!
