Answer: Yes. There is the mm-handler method described in the official Mailman Installation documentation at &lt;http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node33.html&gt;, but not everyone wants to go that shared system-wide route. As one alternative, Ed Greenberg posted a message to the mailman-users mailing list on using the same technique for integration with sendmail as is currently used in integrating with postfix. See &lt;http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2004-June/037518.html&gt; for details. Answer: Yes.

4.49. How do I enable automatic alias generation with sendmail?

Question: When you use Mailman with the postfix MTA, there are some nice additional tools to automate the generation of the aliases that are required, when you create a new mailing list. Can you do the same with Sendmail?

Answer: Yes. There is the mm-handler method described in the official Mailman Installation documentation at <http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node33.html;, but not everyone wants to go that shared system-wide route. As one alternative, Ed Greenberg posted a message to the mailman-users mailing list on using the same technique for integration with sendmail as is currently used in integrating with postfix. See <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2004-June/037518.html; for details.

Hopefully we'll be able to convince him to upload this patch to SourceForge and get this incorporated into a future version of Mailman.
