Mailman 2.1

[Patrick Fleming EA]

Run newlist.
In my setup that's /var/mailman/bin/newlist $listname

> /var/mailman/bin/newlist newlist
Enter the email of the person running the list: pfleming@notreally.com
Initial newlist password: 
Entry for aliases file:

## newlist mailing list
## created: 02-Jan-2003 root
newlist:                 "|/var/mailman/mail/wrapper post newlist"
newlist-admin:           "|/var/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner newlist"
newlist-request:         "|/var/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd newlist"
newlist-owner:           newlist-admin

Hit enter to continue with newlist owner notification...

Copy the above into your /etc/aliases file and run newaliases
>  newaliases
/etc/aliases: 51 aliases, longest 49 bytes, 708 bytes total

Then edit httpd.conf and add the line:
Include conf/httpd-mailman.conf  

Which should (the file) already be there... if not... here is my file. BTW 
this is apache 2.0.40

#  httpd configuration settings for use with mailman.
