Title: Customize Mailman
Links: links.h install-links.h
<h3>Customize Mailman</h3>
You should do these steps using the account you installed Mailman
under in section 2 above.
<ul>
<li>The file <code>$prefix/Mailman/Defaults.py</code> contains a number of
defaults for your installation. If any of these are incorrect,
override them in <code>$prefix/Mailman/mm_cfg.py</code>, <b>NOT
IN</b> <code>Defaults.py</code>! See the comments in
<code>Defaults.py</code> for details. Once a list is created,
editing many of these variables will have no effect (you need to
configure your lists through the web admin interface or through
the command line script <code>bin/config_list</code>).
<p>Specifically check to make sure the variables
<em>DEFAULT_HOST_NAME</em> and <em>DEFAULT_URL</em> are correct.
<p>The install process will not overwrite an existing
<code>mm_cfg.py</code> file so you can freely make changes to
this file.
<p><b>Note:</b> Do <b>not</b> change <em>HOME_DIR</em> or
<em>MAILMAN_DIR</em>. These are set automatically by the
configure script.
<p><li>Create the site password using:
<blockquote>
<pre>
$prefix/bin/mmsitepass your-site-password
</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>This password can be used anywhere that individual user or
mailing list administrator passwords are required, giving the
mailman site administrator the ability to adjust these things
when necessary.
</ul>
