1. Can I override the HTML template used to generate pipermail archives by putting an appropriate file in the list subdirectory?
I don't believe so, but cPanel may have made changes to the version of Mailman that they provide. Please see <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq06.011.htp>.
2. Can I direct mailman to use a different machine or MTA through the list subdirectory?
It is possible to configure Mailman to use a different MTA for outgoing mail, but not via a file in the list subdirectory. You'd have to modify the mm_cfg.py file.
3. Is it possible to get Mailman on my server to archive mail to the web host company server? Perhaps by using ftp? (Are the archives static files or cgi generated?)
You can't do this directly, but the archives are generated as static files by Mailman, so you could ftp the HTML and other files up to their server. However, you'd also need to edit the HTML to use the URLs that would be correct for the appropriate locations on the hosting server as opposed to your local Mailman machine. That would take some work, but is do-able.
Of course, this would need to be automated via some mechanism outside of the scope of Mailman, such as cron.
4. How about the web front ends to the mailing list, is it possible to somehow rewire the cgi to interface with the Mailman on my system?
I'm not entirely sure what you're asking here, but if I'm correct, then I don't think that this is possible. You could set up a reverse proxy on your hosting provider server (or have them set up a reverse proxy for you), but I don't know if that is within the scope of the contract you have with them.
5. Can I get Mailman to talk to an MTA on a different server? e.g. my ISP server?
Yes, by making the appropriate modifications to the mm_cfg.py file. However, I believe that changing your outgoing MTA in this file will only affect lists that are created after the change is made, and all previously existing lists will continue to use the old configuration.
You'd need to do some work to copy all the list configuration items over to another list, delete the old list, then move the list configuration items back over again, with all subscriptions intact, etc....
This can be a "non-trivial" task, depending on your particular list configuration, your subscriber list, etc....
