["Tim King" <tk@xxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Charlie, the reason I was after a .pkg was that I've been trying (in
vain) to install mailman from source and I found very little info about
people doing this on a RaQ (probably because it's not a very good idea).
Anyway I failed and I must admit I was looking for the easy solution.

Thanks again,
Tim
