Thanks. Fortunately I'm running a version of OS X server that predates Apple's inclusion of mailman, and I believe I've found the source directory used for the installation (I did not perform the install).

I have a stupid but quick question: will running

#make clean,
#configure --with-mail-gid=daemon
#make install

erase my existing lists, or will they be left untouched? If the former, is there a convenient way to backup and re-create the lists post-install?


I'm also running mailman on OS X Server 10.2, installed from source. The difficulties Brad describes are one of the main reasons I haven't updated to Panther Server.


Go to your source folder and look at the head of config.log. That will show what options were specified in the last install. Copy all of those except the different mail-gid in your configure command. This will not overwrite any existing lists. Just remember to run mailmanctl stop before doing it ;-)
