With some more thought than my quick private reply to you last night, I don't think this is an issue. IIRC, you choose where to install Mailman and I believe it is self-contained in that directory. My latest instructions (for Snow Leopard) suggest /usr/local/mailman but previous versions suggested /Applications/mailman (and if you wanted to, you could call it something like /usr/local/my_private_copy_of_mailman_which_does_not_conflict_with_Apples which is inelegant but would work and I'm pretty sure really does not conflict :-) ). So long as the directory you pick does not exist, then you will not be at risk of a conflict. You would, of course, have to change that name throughout my instructions but that is trivial. The instructions do call for modifying some configuration files of other software (Postfix and Apache) but those files are intended to be user-modifiable and Apple provided updates should not be overriding your mofications. -- Larry Stone lston...@stonejongleux.com http://www.stonejongleux.com/ ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
