I must admit, once it was shoved kicking and screaming
into the RaQ I never had a single issue with it's operation
from that point forward. Worked like a champ!

This may be where I get an advantage... With Ensim Pro 3.5.XX,
it almost looks like they heard the pleas to use Mailman as
there's little tidbits of code in various files that can be
turned on to ensure it works properly. Not a word anywhere
about using it, but it's still there.
With 3.5.XX, Python's actually pre-installed and appears
just like Perl, CGI, etc. in each domain's space. Again, as
I mentioned, it's like mini-RaQ's vs. one OS that doles out
shared resources from the center of RH and makes you try to
symlink and tie everything together. That's why I asked
should I go system-wide or domain by domain, because it looks
like they geared it to be installed d-by-d. They've done
the same thing with Miva Merchant, if you select to provide
it then it dumps a new core in each domain including the
Empresa engines. The RaQ just dumped one core in and you
were on your own.

LOL, actually I must say the Pro 3.5.XX series is
much better than given credit for. I know the versions
prior were a nightmare. But in the new Pro series, all
the complaints seem to have been solved. It's just missing
any sort of realistic documentation to explain what exactly
they decided to do to fix things and what works what.

Heh, no it's internal, that's why they pay me the big
bucks! Wait.. ok, just bucks... Wait... when DID I get a
paycheck last? <Grin>
