Actually, it is possible to run Mailman without a local MTA. Outgoing mail is easy. Just set SMTPHOST and, if necessary, SMTPPORT in mm_cfg.py to the appropriate values for the server you want to use. If the server requires authentication and possibly TLS, see <http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1798683&group_id=103&atid=300103> for a patch. Incoming mail is harder, but it can be done using something like fetchmail to retrieve mail from a remote server. It can then be delivered to Mailman via someththing like procmail or by using Mailman's Maildir delivery. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
