+7 Review your site defaults
+</h1>
+
+<p>
+Mailman has a large number of site-wide configuration options which you should
+now review and change according to your needs.  Some of the options control
+how Mailman interacts with your environment, and other options select defaults
+for newly created lists<a name="tex2html5"
+  href="#foot733"><sup>5</sup></a>.
+There are system tuning parameters and integration options.
+
+<p>
+The full set of site-wide defaults lives in the
+<span class="file"><var>$prefix</var>/Mailman/Defaults.py</span> file, however you should
+<strong>never</strong> modify this file!  Instead, change the <span class="file">mm_cfg.py</span> file in
+that same directory.  You only need to add values to <span class="file">mm_cfg.py</span> that are
+different than the defaults in <span class="file">Defaults.py</span>, and future Mailman upgrades
+are guaranteed never to touch your <span class="file">mm_cfg.py</span> file.
+
+<p>
+The <span class="file">Defaults.py</span> file is documented extensively, so the options are not
+described here.  The <span class="file">Defaults.py</span> and <span class="file">mm_cfg.py</span> are both
+<a class="ulink" href="http://www.python.org"
+  >Python</a> files so valid Python syntax must be
+maintained or your Mailman installation will break.
+
+<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>
+
+<p>
+You should make any changes to <span class="file">mm_cfg.py</span> using the account you
+installed Mailman under in the <a href="troubleshooting.html#building">14</a> section.

+<dd>In general, changing the list defaults
+described in this section will not affect any already created lists.  To make
+changes after a list has been created, use the web interface or the command
+line scripts, such as <b class="program">bin/withlist</b> and <b class="program">bin/config_list</b>.
