+= How to use Mailman as a source of authentication =
+
+Kudos to Christopher Gabriel for his original idea:
+http://www.cgabriel.org/2009/09/21/ldap-e-la-disperazione/
+
+Mailman can be used as a source of authentication for Trac. This is super handy, as it allows to have a single signon between the two.
+
+Here is how it works:
+
+* an Apache macro (please install mod_macro and mod_python, and add `www-data` to the group `list`)
+
+{{{#!bash
+/etc/apache2/macros
+
+<Macro PrivateProjectMailman $name $list>
+        <Location /svn/$name>
+                AuthName "$name"
+                AuthType Basic
+                PythonPath "sys.path+['/etc/apache2/']"
+                PythonAuthenHandler mailauth
+                PythonOption MailmanList $list
+                AuthUserFile /dev/null
+                AuthBasicAuthoritative Off
+                require valid-user
+        </Location>
+
+        <Location "/$name">
+                AuthName "$name"
+                AuthType Basic
+                PythonPath "sys.path+['/etc/apache2/']"
+                PythonAuthenHandler mailauth
+                PythonOption MailmanList $list
+                AuthUserFile /dev/null
+                AuthBasicAuthoritative Off
+                require valid-user
+        </Location>
+
+</Macro>
+
+
+<Macro PublicProjectMailman $name $list>
+        <Location /svn/$name>
+                <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
+                AuthName "$name"
+                AuthType Basic
+                PythonPath "sys.path+['/etc/apache2/']"
+                PythonAuthenHandler mailauth
+                PythonOption MailmanList $list
+                AuthUserFile /dev/null
+                AuthBasicAuthoritative Off
+                require valid-user
+                </LimitExcept>
+        </Location>
+
+        <Location "/$name/login">
+                AuthName "$name"
+                AuthType Basic
+                PythonPath "sys.path+['/etc/apache2/']"
+                PythonAuthenHandler mailauth
+                PythonOption MailmanList $list
+                AuthUserFile /dev/null
+                AuthBasicAuthoritative Off
+                require valid-user
+        </Location>
+
+</Macro> 
+}}}
+
+* then, in the relative !VirtualHost
+
+{{{#!bash
+Use PrivateProjectMailman progetto-x lista-progetto-x
+}}}
+
+or
+
+{{{#!bash
+Use PublicProjectMailman progetto-x lista-progetto-x
+}}}
+
+And you are done.
