Some tips on using mailman
I am using the standard Ubuntu package. This means things are symlinked from the normal places in /var to where they are really installed in /usr
User.group = list.list not the usual mailman.mailman
Various config files including mm_cfg.py are in /etc/mailman I am using postfix as the MTA
Pipermail is installed
master.cf has this /usr/lib/mailman/bin/postfix-to-mailman.py
Notes in mailman docs
