The end user wouldn't but the system administrator for the Mailman site would. It would be optional of course. > When you say "archives" do you mean "old posts" ?

Well, there's a lot to work out with respect to packaging, but the idea is that you could run a local NNTP server that people could connect to with their newsreaders. It would work very much like Gmane (though we'd have to work out posting via NNTP issues). > "you can also make some changes to the way your web server is set up > so that your users can access your newsgroups through the same URL as > your web site.

Hmm, I'm not sure how it is relevant to NNTP access to the mailing lists. -Barry ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
