Question

How do I overwrite the default settings for Mailman?

Answer

To modify Mailman's default configuration, you can append the changes using the "echo" command or your preferred text editor to open and modify the file.

For example, to disable archiving by default, add the following line to /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py:

echo "DEFAULT_ARCHIVE = Off" >> /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py

Once the changes are made, restart Mailman:

/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/restartsrv_mailman

This will disable archiving by default and ensure the changes take effect immediately.
