2. Call /usr/lib/mailman/bin/mmsitepass as user root to set your site master password.
3. As root, edit /etc/postfix/main.cf. At the bottom of the file, you will see that YaST
has already configured a default alias map: alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, ...,
4. Add this statement to the line: hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases.
5. Return to the root shell and reload postfix with this command: postfix reload.
6. Finally, call /usr/lib/mailman/bin/newlist mailman as user root to create the
master mailing list. This list is needed for the inner workings of Mailman. You will
be asked to set up a password as the site administrator; make it easy to remember,
but relatively hard to guess.
Now you can use the web interface to set up your list.
TIP
Need a host for your Mailman list? You can find a directory of free and commercial
hosts at the Python-friendly Web Hosting page: http://www.python.org/moin/
PythonHosting. Look for Mailman in the Services Offered column.
Running a Mailman List
Mailman files are stored in /usr/lib/mailman/bin. They are owned by root, but all
members of the Mailman group have execute rights and can run Mailman commands,
using either the web interface or from the shell.
