-You should check the values for <var>DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST</var> and
-<var>DEFAULT_URL_HOST</var> in <span class="file">Defaults.py</span>. Make any necessary changes in
-the <span class="file">mm_cfg.py</span> file, <strong>not</strong> in the <span class="file">mm_cfg.py</span> file. If you
-change either of these two values, you'll want to add the following afterwards
-in the <span class="file">mm_cfg.py</span> file:
+Mailman depends on a process called the ``qrunner'' to delivery all
+email messages it sees. You must start the qrunner by executing the following
+command from the <var>$prefix</var> directory:
<P>
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
- add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)
+ % bin/mailmanctl start
</pre></div>
<P>
-You will want to run the <b class="program">bin/fix_url.py</b> to change the domain of any
-existing lists.
+You probably want to start Mailman every time you reboot your system. Exactly
+how to do this depends on your operating system. If your OS supports the
+<b class="program">chkconfig</b> command (e.g. RedHat and Mandrake Linuxes) you can
+do the following (as root, from the Mailman install directory):
+
+<P>
+<div class="verbatim"><pre>
+ % cp scripts/mailman /etc/init.d/mailman
+ % chkconfig --add mailman
+</pre></div>
+
+<P>
+Note that <span class="file">/etc/init.d</span> may be <span class="file">/etc/rc.d/init.d</span> on some systems.
+
+<P>
+On Gentoo Linux, you can do the following:
+
+<P>
+<div class="verbatim"><pre>
+ % cp scripts/mailman /etc/init.d/mailman
+ % rc-update add mailman default
+</pre></div>
+
+<P>
+On Debian, you probably want to use:
+
+<P>
+<div class="verbatim"><pre>
+ % update-rc.d mailman defaults
+</pre></div>
+
+<P>
+For <span class="Unix">Unix</span>es that don't support <b class="program">chkconfig</b>, you might try the
+following set of commands:
+
+<P>
+<div class="verbatim"><pre>
+ % cp scripts/mailman /etc/init.d/mailman
+ % cp misc/mailman /etc/init.d
+ % cd /etc/rc.d/rc0.d
+ % ln -s ../init.d/mailman K12mailman
