(I've read the archives about list cloning. I hope
the question below isn't the same as the rest. This question
is for Mailman 2.1.9).
I need to create a bunch of email lists, more
than are feasible to create using the web interface.
I have, however, used the web interface to create
one list that I've successfully configured in the
way I want all the other lists to be.
From reading the archives I know that one way to create the
other lists is something like this (oldlistname is
the correctly configured list):
bin/config_list -o oldlistname.cfg oldlistname
# separate list-specific stuff from generic and put in std.cfg
bin/newlist newlistname
bin/config_list -i std.cfg newlistname
Here's what isn't clear to me. In looking at the contents
of oldlistname.cfg I see lots of good stuff. Some of it is obviously
specific to oldlistname, and some of it is generic list
configuration info. Is there any way I, as a new Mailman,
can tell which is which? For example, it looks like everything after
'subject_prefix' can be generic but I'm not sure.
Also, am I right in thinking that a better way of doing this,
once I've created a correct std.cfg, would be to put the stuff
from std.cfg into mm_cfg.py?
Cordially,
