Matthias Andree 854b45ea77 Note that I could not fully test all integrations yet. If integrations are
failing, please add detailed information how you set up your MTA, and
Mailman, what user/group IDs are, how list aliases are managed, and
thereabouts.

- Update to 2.1.15. [2] Changes: click View the full Changelog on
  https://launchpad.net/mailman/2.1/2.1.15
- Fix without-NLS install: Install at least English template. [1]
- Drop EXIM3 option, we don't have an Exim 3 port any more.
- Drop INTEGRATION option, which would at best be confusing.
- Reformat COMMENT to fit into common limits.
- Fix typo in COURIER_DESC.
- When Postfix integration is chosen, add BUILD and RUN_DEPENDS on
  Postfix because we need the postconf program.
- Use htdig patches for Mailman version 2.1.12 and remove BROKEN tag,
  in an experimental attempt to revive htdig support.

- Change pre-fetch: to pre-everything::
- Revise formatting of pre-everything text to make clear it displays
  default values, not current values. To avoid ports/170280.

Paraphrasing the website:
Mailman is a mailing list manager (MLM); that is, software to help manage
email discussion lists, much like Majordomo, LISTSERV, and the like.
Unlike most similar products, Mailman gives each mailing list a web page
and allows users to subscribe, unsubscribe, and change their preferences
via the web. Even a list manager can administer his or her list(s)
entirely via the web. Mailman integrates many common MLM features,
including web-based archiving (though it also has hooks for external
archivers), mail-to-news gateways, bounce handling, spam prevention,
Majordomo-style email-based list administration, direct SMTP delivery (with
fast bulk mailing), digest delivery, virtual domain support, and more.
Mailman is written mostly in Python (with a smattering of C where necessary
for security purposes), and includes hooks to make it easily scriptable and
extensible. It is compatible with most web servers and browsers, and most
mail transfer agents (mail servers). Mailman's documentation may be found on
its website.
