Here it is, http://london.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/london.pm http://london.pm.org/pipermail/london.pm/ -- I sent a couple to seed it. So I put in the final tweaks to get exim/mailman working together. (Most of the credit for the setup is to Alex/veeg and jo.) Whether it goes from dircon to london.pm.org is up to someone else, this is really just to let you know it (the mailman system)'s werkin'.
