<h3><a name="SECTION001632000000000000000">
6.3.2 Integrating Sendmail and Mailman</a>
</h3>

<p>
David Champion has contributed a recipe for more closely integrating Sendmail
and Mailman, such that Sendmail will automatically recognize and deliver to
new mailing lists as they are created, without having to manually edit alias
tables.

<p>
In the <span class="file">contrib</span> directory of Mailman's source distribution, you will
find four files:

<p>

<ul>
<li><span class="file">mm-handler.readme</span> - an explanation of how to set everything up
</li>
<li><span class="file">mm-handler</span>        - the mail delivery agent (MDA)
</li>
<li><span class="file">mailman.mc</span>        - a toy configuration file sample
</li>
<li><span class="file">virtusertable</span>     - a sample for RFC 2142 address exceptions
</li>
</ul>
