[Mailman-Users] Problems with multi-machine slicing

[Jeff Taylor]

I'm honestly not sure about that.  Other than the slicing, mailman is 
pretty much set up with defaults.  The only changes I make on the lists 
is setting them so that replies only come back to the admin, not to the 
entire list (they are mostly used to send notices to cell phones as text 
messages).
