Mageia RPM specific notes setup ----------------- The setup used here differs from default one, to achieve better FHS compliance. - the configuration file is /etc/mailman - the log files are in /var/log/mailman - the constant files are in %{_libdir}/mailman - the variable files are in /var/lib/mailman installation ----------------- The installation assumes a server correctly set up with fqdn, postfix, and a working apache web server. The installer attempts to work around some problems so outright failures do not occur, but post installation remediation will be needed for some issues if this is not the case (see mailman documentation). post-installation ----------------- Post-installation script attempts first to integrate mailman aliases file with existing mail aliases. Then the server-wide 'mailman' list is automatically created, with root@hostname as admin, and a randomly generated password. This list is configured with generic default values, but its configuration should be reviewed before usage. The password is available in the notification message sent by mailman upon list creation, and is also used as the site password. The mailman service has to be started, and the SMTP server has to be running for the message to be correctly delivered. The site password can be reset (as root) using 'mmsitepass newpassword'. List passwords can be reset using the same utility (see mailman documentation).
