Mailing lists live in /home/mailman/ on zwinger.

The templates for list messages etc. are in /home/mailman/template/<langcode>; these can be customised per-list by copying them to /home/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:

 /home/mailman/bin/newlist

Ensure /home/mailman/aliases.mailman is up-to-date after doing this, and run newaliases and postfix reload.
