The mutable (changeable) directories are those in the VAR_PREFIX (set by the configure --with-var-prefix= option) directory as opposed to the PREFIX and EXEC_PREFIX directories. These directories are archives/, lists/, logs/, locks/, data/ and spam/. The ones that must be shared are archives/, lists/, locks/, and data/. The spam/ directory is only used when a message is 'preserved for the admin' in the admindb interface. That and the logs/ are probably best shared. Other directories can be shared or not except if the separate instances have separate mm_cfg.py files, then the Mailman/ directory needs to be unique per machine. >As far as mm_cfg.py must be different on each server, it prevent to >export the entire /usr/local/mailman. Correct. >Ok, thank tou very much for the hints. >AFAIK with this configuration, we can start the webinterface on each >server, right?
