Hi folks,

I watch the ZMailmanList with big interest but no time yet :(

There is still one thing that i haven't seen a proper solution yet:

How will a list be activated in the MTA ???

In standart-configuration it is necessary to modify the aliases file
and run newaliases afterwards.
This needs to be done as root, and we all agree that a zope-instance
should not run as root-user.

My standard MTA-setup (postfix) uses a LDAP server for aliases and
Mailbox-user access.

With a setup like this it would be easy to update the LDAP-Server-Aliases
with the newly created list.

Is it possible to design the list-management for optional plugins like this 
??


Keep on with this interesting project .. I'll join if my time allows.
