[Dovecot] What does mailman do with a 'post' command?

[Masaharu Kawada]

Mark-san,

Thank you very much for your response!

I got better understanding on mailman with your explanations. I really 
appreciate it.

When I next time get something to ask, I will post it to 
mailman-users at python.org.

Best Regards,
