Mailing lists live in /a/mailman/, a 63GB RAID-1 volume.

The templates for list messages etc. are in /var/lib/mailman/template/<langcode>; these can be customised per-list by copying them to /a/mailman/lists/<listname>/<langcode>/ and editing them. Make sure they're still writable by Apache otherwise the mailman web interface doesn't work! (this means they have to be owned by group mailman and be g+w)

To add a new list:

 /usr/lib/mailman/bin/newlist

Ensure /a/mailman/aliases.mailman is up-to-date after doing this (newlist will tell you what to add), and run newaliases and postfix reload.
