Mailing lists live in /usr/local/mailman/ on goeje.

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

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

The old symlink from /home/mailman to /usr/local/mailman has been removed as of February 15, 2006. Make sure any old directions and config files are updated to reflect this.

List archives are being removed from robots.txt as of November 3, 2006 to reduce annoying complaints about peoples' names appearing on google.
