Apple does provide the source code for their mailman packages. You can browse it here: http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/Current/mailman-117/ And download a tarball of that stuff: http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/tarballs/other/mailman-117.tar.gz AFAICT, the -117 is an Apple internal number. Browsing the full list shows similar, non-upstream numbers for many other packages. The full list of open source code for Mac OS X 10.4.8 for PPC is at: http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/Current/ So, while it seems fair to say that many of the very knowledgeable folks here don't know the specifics of the Apple packaged mailman, it doesn't seem quite as fair to say that Apple hasn't shared their changes. They are available for anyone to download and check out. Compare that to cPanel where the best you find if you're not a customer is a half-backed and outdated patch (which I was provided only after persistent requests). Disclaimer: I don't know anything about the Apple packages and the only Apple product I own is an iPod. :) -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ====================================================================== Don't take life seriously, you'll never get out alive.
