6 Set up your mail server
</h1>

<p>
This section describes some of the things you need to do to connect Mailman's
email interface to your mail server.  The instructions here are different for
each mail server; if your mail server is not described in the following
subsections, try to generalize from the existing documentation, and consider
contributing documentation updates to the Mailman developers.
