Yes, you can do this. You can configure Mailman to use the mail server directly for outgoing mail, but the more difficult part is incoming mail. It is probably best to install an MTA on the web server solely for delivery to Mailman. Then the mail server can relay Mailman's mail to the MTA on the web server for delivery to Mailman. You can use a non-standard port for this, and if you're really concerned about external access, use a firewall to limit access to this port to the mail server. Then Mailman could use its local MTA for delivery, either directly or via relay to the mail server, or Mailman can deliver via the mail server directly. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
