Hi, Thanks for the update!
I have a question... I currently run mailman as installed via RPM (under SUSE 9.0). How can I upgrade via the tarball? I mean the rpm puts files into specific locations (such as both /usr/lib/mailman and /var/lib/mailman) and I wanted to make sure that when I upgrade, the files go into the same locations where they are currently. How can I specify the locations?
