The docs usually get stored in /usr/share/doc/mailman-<version>.. But, besides that, you really just have to know where the installation is.. It should be installed in /var/mailman if you used the RPM, and the directory tree is essentially the same from there on out.
I believe if you do a "rpm -qi mailman" there will be instructions as to what to do next. For example: #> rpm -qi mailman Name : mailman Relocations: (not relocateable) Version : 2.0.6 Vendor: (none) Release : 1 Build Date: Fri 31 Aug 2001 03:06:19 PM EDT Install date: Fri 31 Aug 2001 03:06:42 PM EDT Build Host: lobe Group : Applications/Internet Source RPM: mailman-2.0.6-1.src.rpm Size : 2123729 License: GPL URL : http://www.list.org/ Summary : Mailing list manager with built in web access. Description : Mailman is software to help manage email discussion lists, much like Majordomo and Smartmail. Unlike most similar products, Mailman gives each mailing list a web page, and allows users to subscribe, unsubscribe, etc. over the web. Even the list manager can administer his or her list entirely from the web. Mailman also integrates most things people want to do with mailing lists, including archiving, mail <-> news gateways, and so on. When the package has finished installing, you will need to: * Run /var/mailman/bin/mmsitepass to set the mailman administrator password. * Edit /var/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py to customize mailman's configuration for your site. * Modify the sendmail configuration to ensure that it is running and accepting connections from the outside world (to ensure that it runs, set "DAEMON=yes" in /etc/sysconfig/sendmail, ensuring that it accepts connections from the outside world may require modifying /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and regenerating sendmail.cf), and * Add these lines: ScriptAlias /mailman/ /var/mailman/cgi-bin/ Alias /pipermail/ /var/mailman/archives/public/ <Directory /var/mailman/archives> Options +FollowSymlinks </Directory> to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf to configure your web server. Users upgrading from previous releases of this package may need to move their data or adjust the configuration files to point to the locations where their data is.
