-1.4 Basic Architectural Overview</A>
-</H2>
-
-<P>
-This section will outline the basic architecture of GNU Mailman, such
-as how messages are processed by the sytem. Without going into lots
-of detail, this information will help you understand how the
-configuration options control Mailman's functionality.
-
-<P>
-When mail enters the system from your mail server, it is dropped into
-one of several Mailman <em>queues</em> depending on the address the
-message was sent to. For example, if your system has a mailing list
-named <var>mylist</var> and your domain is <var>example.com</var>, people can
-post messages to your list by sending them to
-<var>mylist@example.com</var>. These messages will be dropped into the
-<em>incoming</em> queue, which is also colloquially called the
-<em>moderate-and-munge</em> queue. The incoming queue is where most of
-the approval process occurs, and it's also where the message is
-prepared for sending out to the list membership.
-
-<P>
-There are separate queues for the built-in archiver, the bounce
-processor, the email command processor, as well as the outgoing email
-and news queues. There's also a queue for messages generated by the
-Mailman system. Each of these queues typically has one <em>queue
-runner</em> (or ``qrunner'') that processes messages in the queue. The
-qrunners are idle when there are no messages to process.
-
-<P>
-Every message in the queues are represented by two files, a message
-file and a metadata file. Both of these files share the same base
-name, which is a combination of a unique hash and the Unix time that
-the message was received. The metadata file has a suffix of
-<span class="file">.db</span> and the message file has a suffix of either <span class="file">.msg</span> if
-stored in plain text, or <span class="file">.pck</span> if stored in a more efficient
-internal representation<A NAME="tex2html1"
- HREF="#foot39"><SUP>1</SUP></A>.
-
-<P>
-As a message moves through the incoming queue, it performs various
-checks on the message, such as whether it matches one of the
-moderation criteria, or contains disallowed MIME types. Once a
-message is approved for sending to the list membership, the message is
-prepared for sending by deleting, adding, or changing message headers,
-adding footers, etc. Messages in the incoming queue may also be
-stored for appending to digests.
