hi ya todd..

usually just running md will create a virgin <list>.config file
and than i go and tweek the footers/headers etc...

donno if using a gui is good or bad.... ( i hate gui's as it restricts 
what you can do with the files...and than theres security issues
too if its web or tkbased

to create blank new lists... there are scripts i know of..
( ie...config /etc/aliases,  archives, digests...

		- creates the above...

		mj_check.pl -create <newlist>
