Depending on how the smarthost is configured, yes. If they require that you do some sort of authentication, I think that's beyond what you can do with the stock version of Mailman and you may need to make some source code modifications, or find an alternative way to achieve the same goal. If they authenticate you by your IP address, you should be fine. > I'm a newbie and I want to avoid setting up a mail server on my machine > if possible.

Keep in mind that you still need to have some way to get the mail *into* Mailman, and you need some way to update the aliases that tell the MTA what mailing lists exist and what command should be run as a result. If you're not going to run a local MTA on your box, you need to find alternative ways to do all these things. -- Brad Knowles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> LinkedIn Profile: <http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu> ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
