I just (finally) got around to upgrading my mail server from Debian Woody to Sarge, and that brought a change of my Mailman version from something a few years old to 2.1.5-8, which refuses to start unless there's a list named "mailman". Seems a bit silly to me but, OK, let's create it:
/home/esper# newlist Enter the name of the list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Enter the email of the person running the list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Initial mailman password: Create a new, unpopulated mailing list. Usage: /usr/sbin/newlist [options] [listname [listadmin-addr [admin-password]]] Options: <snippity-snip> Illegal list name: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/esper# Ummm... OK. It's refusing to create a list named [EMAIL PROTECTED], even though I told it to create [EMAIL PROTECTED] I've also tried using just mailman as the list name with identical results. What do I need to do to get Mailman to agree to create the all-important site list so that I can get my lists up and running again? Also, I have a few virtual domains on the server. Am I correct that a) the site list should be at the server's primary hostname and b) it is not necessary to create site lists of [EMAIL PROTECTED] virtual domain on the box]? -- The freedoms that we enjoy presently are the most important victories of the White Hats over the past several millennia, and it is vitally important that we don't give them up now, only because we are frightened. - Eolake Stobblehouse (http://stobblehouse.com/text/battle.html) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
