Take another look at those entries. We're talking about running a second instance of postfix, on another port, with a special configuration (disabling all anti-virus/anti-spam stuff, all DNS lookups, etc...), and Mailman talking only to this second instance of postfix. If this fact is not clear, please feel free to suggest ways that the wording could be improved. Alternatively, feel free to clean up or clarify the wording yourself. > I added a note to the Mailman FAQ on this page: > > http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py That's the page for the main FAQ Wizard.
