I'm running Mailman on OSX 10.2.8. The setup was straightforward Installation varies depending on which version of OSX you're running, and your preferred MTA. For some reason, a lot of versions of OSX come with sendmail preinstalled while others have postfix or nothing. The Mailman documentation at <http://www.list.org/docs.html> is excellent and comprehensive. Use the FAQ Wizard to find specific information on moving lists. The information on OSX is somewhat scanty, but the general information is very good. Mac users are also good at putting step-by-step how-to information up on the web (indeed, one might say that Apple relies on its users for good documentation). A Google query for the specific task you're trying to do will probably help more than me sharing the documentation I used to get Mailman and exim set up on jaguar. A lot of things on the Mac are non-Unix-standard because the Mac has a schizophrenic operating system. Part of it is pure BSD Unix, but the rest of it is pure Mac native. Many things, like starting systems services, setting up networking, creating a caching name server, and other things that you might expect to be vanilla Unix, have at least a couple of strange twists on the Mac. Apache set-up on the Mac is easier than on any other Unix system I've tried. -- Heather Madrone ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.madrone.com Whenever a question asks "Either / or?"
