[Mailman-Developers] QMail Patch

[Sean Reifschneider]

Here's a patch for Defaults.py which adds a variable named "MTA", and
sets it to "qmail" if the directory /var/qmail exists.  Also included
is a patch to newlist which if MTA is set to "qmail" displays the
commands required to create the specified aliases using the
"~alias/.qmail" method.

I'm not really happy with all the "SM*" keys added to the dict, but I
think that the goal of making the sendmail aliases prettier is a good
one...  Maybe it would make more sense to remove the SM* ones and
have a set of routines for each MTA like:

   def display_aliases_qmail(dict):
      print 'whatever'

   def display_aliases_sendmail(dict):
      for key in ( 'admin', 'owner1', 'owner2', 'list' ):
         dict[key] = '%-24s' % ( dict[key] + ':' )
      print 'whatever'

   def display_aliases_default(dict):
      print "Don't know how to set up aliases for your MTA."
      print
      print "You will have to manually set up aliases for the following"
      print "addresses:"
      print
      [...]

   [...]
   try:
      eval('display_aliases_%s(dict)' % mm_cfg.MTA)
   except NameError:
      display_aliases_default(dict)
