Mailing lists live on mint.knams.wikimedia.org, 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.
then:
/usr/lib/news/bin/ctlinnd newgroup lists.name_of_list m news
and change the following options in the "[Mail<->News gateways]" section of the list's admin interface:
- The hostname of the machine your news server is running on.
- localhost
- The name of the Usenet group to gateway to and/or from.
- lists.name_of_list
- Should new posts to the mailing list be sent to the newsgroup?
- Yes
- The moderation policy of the newsgroup.
- Open list, moderated group
- Prefix Subject headers on postings gated to news?
- No
