Do we have (from http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/site.html):

"By definition, the site administrator has shell access to the Mailman
installation, and the proper permissions for total control over Mailman at
the site. The site admin can edit the Mailman/mm_cfg.py configuration file,
and can run the various and sundry command line scripts."

"GNU Mailman works on most POSIX-based systems such as UNIX, MacOSX, or
GNU/Linux. It does not currently
work on Windows. You must have a mail server that you can send messages to,
and a web server that supports the
CGI/1.1 API. Apache makes a fine choice for web server, and mail servers
such as Postfix, Exim, Sendmail, and qmail
should work just fine.

You must have the Python interpreter installed somewhere on your system. As
of this writing, Python 2.4.4 is recommended,
but see the wiki page above for the latest information.

To install Mailman from source, you will need an ANSI C compiler to build
Mailman's security wrappers. The GNU
C compiler gcc works well."

The documentation is pretty straight forward. Surely someone can read and
follow the directions. I'd be willing to give it a go.

Brad
