You would have to move the entire Mailman $prefix directory and then you would have to edit the prefix in all files that reference it including Defaults.py and all the paths.py files in Mailman's bin/, cron/ and tests/ directories and the MTA aliases and apache config, and you would have to set the new location in whatever Apple launchd processes that start Mailman and run Mailman's 'cron' jobs, and that would probably tell the Apple processes where the new mm_cfg.py was anyway. It would be much easier to simply install Mailman from source in some other location, move your lists and archives, update your MTA and apache configs and tell Apple to quit running Mailman. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
