Moved the bulk of installation instructions, along with mail server and

operating system specific notes into a new latex manual.  This process isn't
complete, but I'm tired and want to get this stuff into CVS asap.  This should
provide much better documentation organization for Mailman 2.1.6 and for the
list.org web site.

-SECURITY NOTE
-
-    You may be tempted to set the DELIVERY_MODULE configuration
-    variable in mm_cfg.py to `Sendmail' when using the Sendmail MTA.
-    Don't.  The Sendmail.py module is misnamed -- it's really a
-    command line based message handoff scheme as opposed to the SMTP
-    scheme used in SMTPDirect (the default).  Sendmail.py has known
-    security holes and is provided as a proof-of-concept only.  If you
-    are having problems using SMTPDirect.py please fix those instead
-    of using Sendmail.py, or you may open your system up to security
-    exploits.

-SENDMAIL `smrsh' COMPATIBILITY
-
-    Many newer versions of Sendmail come with a restricted execution
-    utility called "smrsh", which limits the executables that Sendmail
-    will allow to be used as mail filter programs.  You need to
-    explicitly allow Mailman's wrapper program to be used with smrsh
-    or Mailman will not work.  If mail is not getting delivered to
-    Mailman's wrapper program and you're getting an "operating system
-    error" in your mail syslog, this could be your problem.
-
-    One good way of doing this is to:
-
-        - Find out where your Sendmail executes its smrsh wrapper
-
-           % grep smrsh /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
-
-        - Figure out where smrsh expects symlinks for allowable filter
-          programs.  At the very beginning of the following output you will
-          see a full path to some directory, e.g. /var/adm/sm.bin or similar:
-
-          % strings $path_to_smrsh | less
-
-        - cd into /var/adm/sm.bin, or where ever it happens to reside on your
-          system, such as /etc/smrsh, /var/smrsh or /usr/local/smrsh.
-
-          % cd /var/adm/sm.bin
-
-        - create a symbolic link to Mailman's wrapper program
-
-          % ln -s /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman mailman

-INTEGRATING SENDMAIL AND MAILMAN
-
-    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.
-
-    In the contrib directory, you will find four files
-
-    mm-handler.readme - an explanation of how to set everything up
-    mm-handler        - the mail delivery agent (MDA)
-    mailman.mc        - a toy configuration file sample
-    virtusertable     - a sample for RFC 2142 address exceptions

-PERFORMANCE NOTES
-
-    One of the surest performance killers for Sendmail users is when
-    Sendmail is configured to synchronously verify the recipient's
-    host via DNS.  If it does this for messages posted to it from
-    Mailman, you will get horrible performance.  Since Mailman usually
-    connects via localhost (i.e. 127.0.0.1) to the SMTP port of
-    Sendmail, you should be sure to configure Sendmail /not/ to do DNS
-    verification synchronously for localhost connections.
