I have questions now which are not quite clear to me from the docs:

Hi Roland,

Which guide did you use to install mailman3?

I simply installed it from Ubuntu packages.

1. How do I specify my mail server details (which is my own server
running postfix, etc)

https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/mta.ht...

That is a guide that provides basic info, but there's not reference to secure protocols, so I suppose it's just a bit dated.  I have a great, secure couple of server (running power-mail-in-box), so I don't want to venture into the manual mail-server setup territory, with all it's accompanying spam and security requirements.  The mailings list should just use one (or more) or those servers.

As I have written in another post I made, I have set the (apparently) appropriate parameters in the mailman.cfg, but I still get "relay access denied" from my external MTA, which mean that authentication is not even attempted, or am I mistaken?

2. How do I create new lists from the postorius UI, or can I only
do that in the config files or the command line console for mailman3?

Once everything is up and running and you have the Postorius UI, you can always use the Django Admin interface to manage stuff. It's available at https://FQDN-FOR-YOUR-SITE/admin <https://FQDN-FOR-YOUR-SITE/admin>. How do you log in? You create a "superuser" account using CLI, then use it. Now that depends on how you installed MM3.

I figured that out already.  Thank you.

Roland
