Look at the README in the distribution. It has answers to all of these questions. I just installed it for the first time this week (on Solaris not FBSD). I found the doc a little confusing, but mostly all there. I wrote a simple minded perl script to do all the things (I perceive) to create a new mailing list. Including, creating files for the list, a digest and archives. It also creates the aliases for sendmail, though it doesn't put it in the actual aliases file. Paul. -- Paul T.
