The way I did it was to tar up the entire contents of
/home/mailman making sure that file ownership and permissions
were retained in the tar file.
I then extracted the tarball into /home/mailman on the target
machine. I added the aliases, and installed the crontab stuff.

Have you run the "set group sticky bit" commands?
The files should be:

And the directory permissions should be:

Okay, this is now the third time I'm posting this and no one has come

Mailman requires root access to the box to install, and should be run
as it's own user.

I believe it is safe to comment this cron entry (gate_news).
From the crontab comments, it seems to be a method to send/receive
messages to news servers... Anyone else have some ideas?

"1" instead of "12"? I would mess around with various settings,
trying it each time.
Make sure you "make install" as user mailman. I could be that some

Will Mailman run on a private homepage? If so let me know what I need to
do to have it running. I used to run an older version of Mailman through an

Pete,
What does you aliases file look like?
Also if you su to mail what happen when you run it manually?
