Some suggested default setup for new Mailman list

All default setup for new Mailman list are located in /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Defaults.py, BUT please NEVER touch it and override by using /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py. Here are some suggested setup for internal usage, just copy and append at the end of /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py:

DEFAULT_ARCHIVE_PRIVATE = 1
DEFAULT_GENERIC_NONMEMBER_ACTION = 3
DEFAULT_LIST_ADVERTISED = No
DEFAULT_MAX_MESSAGE_SIZE = 0
DEFAULT_MSG_FOOTER = ""
DEFAULT_MSG_HEADER = ""
DEFAULT_REQUIRE_EXPLICIT_DESTINATION = No
DEFAULT_SUBJECT_PREFIX = ""

P.S. Someone like to have subject prefix but someone not. If most of your client are using desktop MUA, e.g. Thunderbird or Outlook, having subject prefix can simplify their filtering rules setup. Always remove header/footer message if some of your client are using legacy MUA.
