Hi,
1. The file says "BE SURE TO TURN OFF MAILMAN AS DESCRIBED ABOVE
BEFORE YOU UPGRADE." - but that isn't described above. The closest I could see was a recommendation to switch off my MTA. I want to avoid that if the process is going to take more than a minute, so I'm hoping I can just switch off mailmanctl, but I'm using EXIM, and I think it will continue to queue messages...with the wrong queue format?
SMTP is so designed that one MTA can stop for a day or more ;-)
the exim config calls "/local/mailman/mail/mailman post" with each message addressed to a mailman list. Do I need to stop this happening during the upgrade? If so, then I need to take down the mailer (or make it temporarily reject or hold onto the messages while I do the upgrade).
for 2.1.3 -> 2.1.5 upgrade, you can safely stop qrunners if you don't like to stop MTA.
Actually, upgrading is much easier than first time installation because you don't have to re-setup mailman account, web and MTA interfaces. I sometime forget to stop MTA/Web without problem!
