8 Create a site-wide mailing list
</h1>
<p>
After you have completed the integration of Mailman and your mail server, you
need to create a ``site-wide'' mailing list. This is the one that password
reminders will appear to come from, and it is required for proper Mailman
operation. Usually this should be a list called <code>mailman</code>, but if you
need to change this, be sure to change the <var>MAILMAN_SITE_LIST</var> variable in
<span class="file">mm_cfg.py</span>. You can create the site list with this command, following
the prompts:
<p>
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
% bin/newlist mailman
</pre></div>
<p>
Now configure your site list. There is a convenient template for a generic
site list in the installation directory, under <span class="file">data/sitelist.cfg</span> which
can help you with this. You should review the configuration options in the
template, but note that any options not named in the <span class="file">sitelist.cfg</span> file
won't be changed.
<p>
The template can be applied to your site list by
running:
<p>
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
% bin/config_list -i data/sitelist.cfg mailman
</pre></div>
<p>
After applying the <span class="file">sitelist.cfg</span> options, be sure you review the
site list's configuration via the admin pages.
<p>
You should also subscribe yourself to the site list.
