[Mailman-Users] Mailman and Qmail/Vpopmail

[Simon Schuh]

I tried and tried to create the .qmail files, but now I found out that I 
simply had to add a line in /var/qmail/users/assign:
+mailman-:mailman:280:60000:/usr/local/mailman:-:: (60000 is the 
vpopmail group).
Now it works fine. There is no need to manually create .qmail files, the 
script handles it all.

Thank you all!
