I guess you could try googling around. However, AFAIK mailman needs the MTA to have some way of sending it the mail. If there is no way, the MTA will receive the mail ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and then fail because it doesn't know what to do with it. If the MTA is set up in such a way as to allow it to search for other transports within user directories or something, it might be possible to set up mailman as a non-root user, but without that only the administrator would be able to modify the MTA settings to send things to mailman.
