Hi again,Terry, Mark and of course everybody else on the list,
I didn't want to sound rude or being not thankful about what the mailman developers or ist community have done. I really like mailman. I am trying to get mailman up and running for the past two weeks and I am doing this in my sparetime for a hockey club for free.
All I meantis that it is very difficult to know what to do when everybody and every tutorial is offering a different solution. I understand that it is possible to install mailman in any choosen location, but some basics should be the same, at least when we all talk about the same mail client. So when running mailman together with qmail/vpopmail the way is either to use is -with-cgi-gid=mailman or -with-cgi-gid=VCHKPW. Do you knwo what I am trying to say?
When Jordi offered me his help and I really appreciate any help!!! He/she wrote -with-cgi-gid=apache. In this case it is absolutely no problem to understand that my Apache user/group is "nobody" so I would have to change it to -with-cgi-gid=nobody. So there I see differences on every system, but I am missing a main road to success. Why is that not possible?
So I hope everybody got my point now. Thank you very much to all of you offering support for free!!!
Alex
Indeed, I knew what you were saying, but the variants of so many operating systems makes it nigh on impossible to have things so easy.
Like you, I have been struggling with Mailman & trust me, once you nail it, you will wonder exactly where you went wrong & why when it was so obvious.
I found the combination of these 3 tutorials the best for my system (Mac OSX w/POostfix), but you'll need to substitute your system's paths in many places:

My suggestion is to get the command line way of creating lists working firstly, then look at fixing up the web interface - if I can help you out, I will try.
