[Mailman-Users] Mailman functioning (writes)

2005-05-12 Thread Forrest Aldrich
I was asked how mailman handles I/O from the web page - is it via direct
writes, direct open of configs - or is the process proxied somehow, etc.


Thanks.

The Python code opens Python pickle files for the list 
configuration, user settings, etc..., creates HTML for the web pages, 
takes the input from the web page, and writes the relevant 
information to the pickles.

It is possible to set up a reverse web proxy that sits in front 
of the Mailman web server, however.
