You use one or the other, not both. You use MailList.patch.txt if you only want to substitute listreq for list-request. You use MailList.patch2.txt if you want to substitute lisdadm for list-admin, listbou for list-bounces, etc. for all nine of the suffixes. Step one - edit the patch file to replace the 10 in +MAGIC_LENGTH = 10 with the actual list name length that makes things too long. Step two - make a backup of Mailman/MailList.py Step three - patch --dry-run /path/to/Mailman/MailList.py < /path/to/the/patch/file (see 'man patch' for more info) Depending on your Mailman version, you may see one or two "Hunk #n succeeded at offset..." messages from step 3. These are OK, but any other messages from step 3 after the "patching file ..." message may indicate a problem, so stop and post the error(s) Step four - If no errors at step 3 patch /path/to/Mailman/MailList.py < /path/to/the/patch/file Step 5 - restart Mailman. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
