Mandrake RPM packaging specific post-install notes: Clean Install: There are 3 things you need to do post-install before using mailman: 1) You must 'cd /usr/lib/mailman/; ./bin/mmsitepass' as root to set the site password to be used for administrating all Mailman data as necessary. 2) You must also 'cd /usr/lib/mailman/; su -c "./bin/newlist mailman" mail' as root to setup the base mailman maillist - answer the questions appropriately. 3) You should then issue the command 'service mailman start' as root to start the server. Migration: If you are migrating old lists to the new version, under postfix, the aliases db should reside under /var/lib/mailman/data, owned by mail.mail.
