It should if you spelled it correctly. > On the T2 system I have tried changing the attribute from > DEFAULT_RESPOND_TO_POST_REQUESTS to just RESPOND_TO_POST_REQUESTS, changed No > to Zero (0) and tried DEFAULT_RESPOND_TO_POST_REQUESTS = 0. A number of > combinations, and none work on the CentOS machine. No, no, 0 and False are all essentially equivalent in mm_cfg.py. Changing the name is the same as commenting it or leaving it out. Every setting that Mailman references is defined in Defaults.py. Anything you set in mm_cfg.py that is not a setting mentioned in Defaults.py is ignored. > Do you have any suggestions or recommendations?

I *think* the CentOS package has an mm_cfg.py in /etc/mailman and there is a symlink from /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py to /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py, but I may be mistaken about that which is why you should see the FAQ article at <https://wiki.list.org/x/12812344>. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
