Is it possible to “rig” a MailMan installation with a default POP3 or SMTP server address so that the user doesn have to enter them?

Yes. The POP3 server used is referred to in the HTML templates by the substitution keyword “SERVER”. Hunt down everywhere that MailMan allows the user to supply this value through a form field. The only place where this should happen is in the template “t_login.htm”. Find this form field: And replace it with: The box will now be filled in by default for the user when they log on, but experienced users will still be able to aim MailMan at specific servers. The SMTP server used by MailMan is specified by the keyword “OUTGOING”. Change the form fields that set the “OUTGOING” keyword in both “t_f_messageform.htm” and “t_nf_messageform.htm” in order to rig the outgoing SMTP server to something specific.
