Hi Timo,

Thanks for the prompt answer ! This solves a large security for me ;-)

Any idea why the inetd path is not working anymore in 2.x or is that 
already somewhere else in the list ?

I can access the archives and receive the mailings now but if I click on 
http://dovecot.org/mailman/listinfo (which is somewhere on the starting

Not Found
The requested URL /mailman/listinfo was not found on this server.
