Mailman 2.0.13 for OS/2 
************************
Mailman will not work with JFS. You will need to install it on a
HPFS compatibility volume without JFS. Archiving is not enabled. 
It will be included in a future release. Mailman relies on OS/2 
Sendmail/SMTP for sending messages.

Python 2.2.2 for OS/2 is a requirement.
http://www.andymac.org/python.html

Read the README.sendmail for OS/2 Sendmail setup information. 
Mailman relies on a working aliases file and Sendmail/SMTP from 
OS/2 to send messages. 

Cron is also a requirement. Cron/2 available at Hobbes is an excellent
PM Cron for OS/2. Cron sends the posts stored in Mailman recieved from
your mailserver back to your Sendmail queue to be sent. Without it nobody
will ever receive anything.

1) Unzip in \ (root)

2) Copy the following to \Apps\Python222\Lib\platform-os2emx\

	emx_emul.py
	emx_emul.pyc

4) Run mailfold.cmd for your Administrative Interface.

5) Edit \unixos2\home\mailman\Mailman\mm_cfg.py and add the following reflecting 
   your path and hostname.

   # Site-specific settings
   DEFAULT_HOST_NAME = 'yourdomain.com'
   # DEFAULT_URL must end in a slash!
   DEFAULT_URL = 'http://yourdomain.com/mailman/'
   PYTHON = '/apps/python222/python.exe' 

6) Add the changes in README.apache to your httpd.conf file 
   and restart Apache.

7) You can now run it via your Desktop Objects or the Web interface 
   via http://youraddress.com/mailman/admin

8) Add the following to your aliases file for each mailist substituting announce 
   with the list you created. You need these for each list you create. Included is
   a sample aliases file SAMPLE.aliases

	announce:	"|zapper.exe post announce"
	announce-admin:	"|zapper.exe mailowner announce"
	announce-request:	"|zapper.exe mailcmd announce"
	announce-owner:	announce-admin

9) Add the following to your CRON.DAT file. It will send the messages in the
   queue every minute to your mailserver. Sends the listowner a reminder about 
   pending admin tasks at 5pm daily and mails monthly password reminders to 
   subscribers.
