Unfortunately, I am unfamiliar with Ansible, but you could share still.
Maybe I will get someone to help me out.
I just need to get the components started, since they all installed
successfully. The start|stop scripts and maybe a few bits to configure are
what are remaining. With something at hand, I could probably nag one or two
developers to help me out.
BTW, I am running mailman 2 for several years now. I am only trying to see
how the new shinny MM3 is.
