vulnerability.
- Add a file, installed to $DOCSDIR, with more explicit post-installation
instructions.
- Update $PKGMESSAGE to point to this new file.
- Add more explicit warnings in various places that MAIL_GID *must* be set at
build time if Mailman is to be used with an alternate (non-Sendmail) MTA.
- Bring port in line with other similar ports by NOT explicitly depending on
Apache. This is both more maintainable and allows the user greater scope
in setting up a custom configuration, including the use of an alternative
web server. (Also, Mailman _can_ be used without a web server.)
- Clean up which documentation files get installed to $DOCSDIR.
- Refrain from invoking ${PERL}
- Call Mailman's distributed check_perms script post-installation to fix file
permissions instead of doing so manually. This is more modular and will
greatly ease maintenance of the port. It implies a level of trust in
check_perms... but then, installing and running any 3rd party software
implies a level of trust.
- Update $PKGDEINSTALL so that running Python processes beloning to mailman
user should be killed correctly upon port/package deinstallation, even when
the version of Python had been updated since the port/package was
installed.
- Fix a small oversight in $PLIST to allow clean package installations (i.e.
where there is not an existing mailman user) to set file permissions
correctly.
maintaining most of the port's existing structure. A more comprehensive
restructuring of this port is in the works.
- Assume maintainership, pending any objections from -ports.
Mailman is software to help manage email discussion lists, much like Majordomo
and Smartmail. Unlike most similar products, Mailman gives each mailing list a
web page, and allows users to subscribe, unsubscribe, etc. over the web. Even
the list manager can administer his or her list entirely from the web. Mailman
also integrates most things people want to do with mailing lists, including
archiving, mail-to-news gateways, integrated bounce handling, spam prevention,
email-based admin commands, direct SMTP delivery (with fast bulk mailing),
support for virtual domains, and more.
