+11 Customize Mailman
+</H1>
+
+<P>
+Now that Mailman is all set up, there are a few site-wide configurations you
+can make before you start creating mailing lists.  You should do these steps
+using the account you installed Mailman under in the <A href="troubleshooting.html#building">13</A> section.
+
+<P>
+
+<UL>
+<LI>The file <span class="file"><var>$prefix/Mailman/Defaults.py</var></span> contains a number of
+      defaults for your installation.  If any of these are incorrect, override
+      them in <span class="file"><var>$prefix</var>/Mailman/mm_cfg.py</span>, <strong>not</strong> in the
+      <span class="file">Defaults.py</span> file!  See the comments in <span class="file">Defaults.py</span> for
+      details.  Once a list is created, editing many of these variables will
+      have no effect.  At that point, you'll need to configure your lists
+      through the web administration interface or through the command line
+      scripts <b class="program">bin/withlist</b> and <b class="program">bin/config_list</b>.
+
+<P>
+The install process will never overwrite an existing <span class="file">mm_cfg.py</span>
+      file so you can freely make changes to this file.
+
+<P>
+<div class="note"><b class="label">Note:</b>
+
+      Do <strong>not</strong> change the <var>HOME_DIR</var> or <var>MAILMAN_DIR</var>
+      variables.  These are set automatically by the <b class="program">configure</b>
+      script, and you will break your Mailman installation by if you change
+      these.
+      </div>
+</LI>
+<LI>Create the site password.  Use this command:
+
+<P>
+<div class="verbatim"><pre>
+    % $prefix/bin/mmsitepass &lt;your-site-password&gt;
+</pre></div>
+
+<P>
+This password can be used anywhere that individual user or mailing list
+    administrator passwords are required, giving the mailman site
+    administrator the ability to adjust these things when necessary.
+
+<P>
+You may also want to create a password for the site-wide ``list creator''
+    role.  The list creator is someone other than the site administrator who
+    has privileges to create and remove lists through the web interface.  Use
+    the <b class="programopt">-c</b> option to <b class="program">mmsitepass</b> to set this.
