With so many packages, it's hard to determine what should be turned on 
by default.  Also, we didn't really do an install of CentOS per se.  I 
clicked a button in a web form on VPS Link, waited about 5 minutes and 
viola - new OS installed.  I didn't answer any questions like you would 
during a normal installation.

So, my guess is that this was a product of the VPS Link install 
process.  But, I can't remember whether mailman is turned on or off by 
default when I've done Fedora and RHEL installations.
