>Description:

The mailman 2.1.4 package installs an incomplete setup that
has to be manually fixed up in several places. Apart from the
file permissions problem discussed in PR pkg/24041, I have come across:

(1) The conversion of a 2.0 database is far from trivial. See
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.032.htp
for details. The MESSAGE should note this if a /var/spool/mailman
direcory is present and populated.

(2) Mailman 2.1.4 wants a /usr/pkg/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner process
active for queuing list mail - see /usr/pkg/share/doc/mailman/INSTALL,
ch.4. The package does not come with a rc.d mailman script.

(3) The sample crontab for user mailman should probably go to
PKGBASE/share/examples/mailman (EGDIR).

>How-To-Repeat:

	Install mailman pkg, try to set up mailing list, then try to
	find out why things do not work.

>Fix:
	Left as an exercise to the package maintainer.  ;)
