Follow these instructions to finish setting up mailman. This file and the
original ebuild were tweaked by me <lamer@gentoo.org> but were graciously
submitted by Joby Walker (YOU RULE!)
2003 Jul 09: updated by Jesus Perez and re-tweaked by me <raker@gentoo.org>
for 2.1.x.
Please view the documentation on Mailman at: http://www.list.org/
This documentation assumes you're using the default gentoo path
(/usr/lib/mailman/), if you've changed it with MAILMAN_PREFIX, adjust them
accordingly.
1) If this is your first time installing mailman, after your "emerge mailman",
you need to add -D MAILMAN to /etc/conf.d/apache or /etc/conf.d/apache2 and restart
apache.
2) In your /etc/conf.d/apache (for apache 1.x)
or /etc/conf.d/apache2 (for apache 2.x)
file add the additional option to the
APACHE_OPTS or APACHE2_OPTS variable:
-D MAILMAN
3) Make sure mailman is a part of the cron group
4) This must be done as user mailman:
su - mailman
Add the cron jobs:
cd cron
crontab crontab.in
cd ..
Create the site password:
bin/mmsitepass
and main list:
bin/newlist mailman
5) Change back to root:
exit
