BW If you're interesting in helping out with this effort, please join BW mailman-developers. Unfortunately all the development I can do (on Dreamhost) is pasting into the edithtml.cgi window, and no matter how much I do I still can't remove imbalanced tags from parts of mailman I have no access

Dudes, out of curiosity why can't mailman be totally installed and run without involving root? Indeed maybe it would be a safer and more portable installation. E.g., who cares what MTA is installed when one can just use: #Untested partial .procmailrc for a mailman list on a catchall mailbox #for
