While it is true that you need root access to install Mailman, you do not generally need root access to administer Mailman on a server. The ability to log in as the mailman user or su or sudo as the mailman user is generally sufficient. However, hosting companies will generally not give this access either Exporting a subscriber list and 'importing' it to another list without the ability to do bin/list_members, bin/add_members, etc. can be accomplished by scripting the web interface to obtain the list and then mass subscribing it. Regular vs. digest can be easily handled by doing the job in two pieces. Other user options are trickier, but can be done. See http://starship.python.net/crew/jwt/mailman/#throughtheweb for some example scripts. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
