+#
+# Interface mailman to a Courier virtual domain. Does not require the creation
+# of _any_ list-specific aliases to connect lists to your mail system.
+#
+# Adapted March 29, 2004 by Lindsay Haisley, fmouse@fmp.com from
+# qmail-to-mailman.py by Bruce Perens, bruce@perens.com, March 1999.
+#
+# This is free software under the GNU General Public License.
+#
+# This script is meant to be called from
+# <domain_home>/alias/.courier-default. It catches all mail to any address
+# at a virtual domain not otherwise handled by an explicit account or a
+# .courier file.  It looks at the recepient for each mail message not
+# otherwise handled and decides if the mail is addressed to a valid list or
+# not, and bounces the message with a helpful suggestion if it's not
+# addressed to a list.  It decides if it is a posting, a list command, or
+# mail to the list administrator by checking for the various address tags as
+# defined in manual Mailman list creation output (~mailman/bin/newlist).  It
+# will recognize a list as soon as the list is created.  Above and beyond
+# setting up a proper locally-hosted domain in Courier (the use of webadmin
+# is highly recommended!), no other configuration should be required. This
+# program recognizes mail to postmaster, mailman-owner, abuse,
+# mailer-daemon, root, and owner, and routes those mails to MailmanOwner as
+# defined in the configuration variables, above.
+#
+# INSTALLATION:
+#
+# Install this file as @prefix@/bin/courier-to-mailman.py
+#
+# To configure a virtual domain to connect to mailman, create these files:
+#
+# <domain_home>/alias/.courier-listname
+# ... containing ...
+# |/usr/bin/preline @prefix@/bin/courier-to-mailman.py
+#
+# Symlink <domain_home>/alias/.courier-listname-default to this file
+#
+# "listname" is the name of your list.
+#
+# Paths must, of course, be set correctly for the Courier and Mailman
+# installations on your system.
+#
+# Note: "preline" is a Courier program which ensures a Unix "From " header
+# is on the message.  Archiving will break without this.
