OK, so the mail server doesn't need to know anything about mailman in
particular: for the generated aliases, e.g.
mylist: "wrapper blah blah"
Do instead
mylist: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
And set up the web server normally. I think this works!
Generally I try to stop myself from asking questions when I can figure
out the answer on my own, but this was one of those times where I
figured it out by asking in the right way...
I can't believe I didn't try Mailman earlier. I have no problem with
mailing in commands, but my list administrators find Mailman much
easier than that other thing we use...
