Re: [Mailman-Users] Code for allowing web-based delete and create lists
I just went through this... Mailman allows for creation of lists by going to http://webaddress/mailman/create If you enable the proper variable, you can delete a list from it's admin page. For postfix, there is some good integration between mailman and postfix. Note that for sendmail, you need to do a manual process to enable the list addresses in the alias file. There is an automation in the contrib directory which permits the integration you would expect, but it has several caveats. Read carefully. I recently did a hack to give postfix-style automation to the mailman/sendmail interface and posted a procedure here, requesting feedback. Didn't get any, so I'm not sure if it's got serious problems. I don't create lists very often, but it works for me and for one customer for whom I installed it. Check the archives for a posting called Please review this procedure for sendmail integration which was posted on 6/19/2004. /edg --On Saturday, June 26, 2004 10:04 PM -0400 Paul L.

There is the following Mailman patch which avoids some of the decisive problems with David Champion' contrib to MM but suffers from the problems inherent in Sendmail including those regards to virtual hosting.

Sorry, there's been some major problems with the mail server for python.org, and I don't recall seeing this one. I must have missed it. Didn't get any, so I'm not sure if it's got serious problems.

Check the archives for a posting called Please review this procedure for sendmail integration which was posted on 6/19/2004. One thing I'd recommend is to upload this as a suggested patch for Mailman to the SourceForge site, so that the programmers can see it in the tracking system and look at it for consideration for inclusion in upcoming versions. I've also created a FAQ entry which points to this message.

TIA Unless you have made significant changes, the main admin web interface index page includes a link to allow a site administrator to create a new list.
