 <P>
+Terry Allen provides the following detailed instructions on running Mailman on
+the 'client' version of OSX, or in earlier versions of OSX:
+
+<P>
+Mac OSX 10.3 and onwards has the basics for a successful Mailman installation.
+Users of earlier versions of Mac OSX contains Sendmail and those users should
+look at the Sendmail installation section for tips.  You should follow the
+basic installation steps as described earlier in this manual, substituting as
+appropriate, the steps outlined in this section.
+
+<P>
+By default, Mac OSX 10.3 'client' version does not have a fully functional
+version of Postfix.  Setting up a working MTA such as Postfix is beyond the
+scope of this guide and you should refer to <a class="url" href="http://www.postfix.org">http://www.postfix.org</a> for
+tips on getting Postfix running.  An easy way to set Postfix up is to install
+and run Postfix Enabler, a stand-alone tool for configuring Postfix on Mac
+OSX, available from 
+<a class="url" href="http://www.roadstead.com/weblog/Tutorials/PostfixEnabler.html">http://www.roadstead.com/weblog/Tutorials/PostfixEnabler.html</a>.
+
+<P>
+Likewise, Mac OSX 'client' version from 10.1 onwards includes a working Apache
+webserver.  This is switched on using the System Preferences control panel
+under the 'Sharing tab'.  A useful tool for configuring the Apache on Mac OSX
+is Webmin, which can be obtained from
+<a class="url" href="http://www.webmin.com">http://www.webmin.com</a>.
+
+<P>
+Webmin can also perform configuration for other system tasks, including
+Postfix, adding jobs to your crontab, adding user and groups, plus adding
+startup and shutdown jobs.
+
+<P>
+In a stock installation of OSX, the requirement for Mailman is to have Python
+installed.  Python is not installed by default, so it is advised that you
+install the developer's tools package, which may have been provided with your
+system.  It can also be downloaded from the Apple developer site at
+<a class="url" href="http://connect.apple.com">http://connect.apple.com</a>.  Not only is the developer tools package an
+essential requirement for installing Mailman, but it will come in handy at a
+later date should you need other tools.  The developer's tools are also know
+by the name XCode tools.
+
+<P>
+As a minimum, the Python version should be 2.2, but 2.3 is recommended.
+
+<P>
+If you wish to add a user and group using the command line in OSX instead of
+via Webmin or another GUI interface, open your terminal application and follow
+the commands as indicated below - do not type the comments following the
+"<tt class="samp">#</tt>" since they are just notes:
+
+<P>
+<div class="verbatim"><pre>
+sudo tcsh
+niutil -create / /users/mailman
+niutil -createprop / /users/mailman name mailman
+# Note that xxx is a free group ID number on your system
+niutil -createprop / /users/mailman uid xxx
+niutil -createprop / /users/mailman home /usr/local/mailman
+mkdir -p /usr/local/mailman
+niutil -createprop / /users/mailman shell /bin/tcsh
+passwd mailman
+# To prevent malicious hacking, supply a secure password here
+niutil -create / /groups/mailman
+niutil -createprop / /groups/mailman name mailman
+# Note that xxx is a free group ID number on your system
+niutil -createprop / /groups/mailman gid xxx
+niutil -createprop / /groups/mailman passwd '*'
+niutil -createprop / /groups/mailman users 'mailman'
+chown mailman:mailman /usr/local/mailman
+cd /usr/local/mailman
+chmod a+rx,g+ws .
+exit
+su mailman
+</pre></div>
+
+<P>
+For setting up Apache on OSX to handle Mailman, the steps are almost identical
+and the configuration file on a stock Mac OSX Client version is stored in the
+nearly standard location of <span class="file">/etc/httpd/httpd.conf</span>.
+
+<P>
+The <a class="url" href="AFP548.com">AFP548.com</a> site has a time-saving automated startup item creator for
+Mailman, which can be found at 
+<a class="url" href="http://www.afp548.com/Software/MailmanStartup.tar.gz">http://www.afp548.com/Software/MailmanStartup.tar.gz</a>
+<P>
+To install it, copy it into your <span class="file">/Library/StartupItems</span> directory. As
+the root or superuser, from the terminal, enter the following:
+
+<P>
+<div class="verbatim"><pre>
+gunzip MailmanStartup.tar.gz
+tar xvf MailmanStartup.tar
+</pre></div>
+
+<P>
+It will create the startup item for you so that when you reboot, Mailman will
+start up.
