When you "christen" a domain, you are essentially setting the domain
name for your own system. With regard to the flags, keep in mind that
Mailman originally ran over a number of protocols, though today it
normally runs SMTP over TCP. That's one reason the domain file is
used for domain lookup and the transmission scripts in that file are
used to handle transmission of mail over that link. The behavior of
the link is then controlled using the flag field. For example, if it
is "C" the domain is closed and no mail is sent. If it is "S" mail is
sent (via SMTP). If you want Mailman to send mail to a given system
(which may be a relay), you need to set up a transmission script,
basically giving the host name to be used in the initial HELO and
that the script to be played is TCPCHAN-25 (or something like that).
Of course, you must also supply an IP address for the remote system.
