Hi, Don't be too hard on yourself, I too fell fowl if this limit. ;O)
It would be good in future versions of Mailman to have a "Dummy's (no offence to me or you!) setup script" that asks all the vital questions and primes the fields accordingly. Stuff that, unless you are eagle-eyed on all the parameters, you could miss. Stuff that stops the product doing what you might expect such as mail size limits, limits on number of users in the recipient list, along with a really basic 'laymans' explanation of what's going on and how it's doing what it's doing. I also am a total newbie at Python, so the equivalent of "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" for a wildcard "everyone at a domain" really flummoxed me and I eventually found and cut & paste from the FAQ. Maybe a bit of code built-in to Mailman for newbies that parses "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" into Python would be great? I'm sure these (and many more) suggestions fly past the holder of the source code, and I for one am eternally grateful that Mailman does what it does right now, without any mods for amatuers or beginners, but there's always room for improvement as with anything! ;O) In fact, if I had the time I should learn the necessary skills and do something about it, eh? :OD Not sure how often this is said, but "Thanks for Mailman Guys!". It does it's job well...
