Last time I looked at this, Mailman checked for the existence of a config file in the ~mailman/lists/<listname>/ directory. If no config.db, config.pck, or config.bak existed in this directory then it created the <listname>. It did not check the aliases files. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
