I've found a few dialogues in the archives on this subject, but for endmail -- I've pasted them below, with links for each batch of conversation....

It's a touch more complicated, but easily doable. You have to setup the virtual domains under your MTA (mailserver) and in your Webserver, then simply set Mailman to use those virtual addresses, under General Options in the Admin interface.

You put "abc.com" in for the domain it prefers. If the list is called [EMAIL PROTECTED], then you create an alias for it called [EMAIL PROTECTED] The last step is to identify "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" as a list that is treated as though it were "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" by Mailman. You do that by web-ing over to the admin page and on the Privacy Options page, putting the address into the field: Alias names (regexps) which qualify as explicit to or cc destination names for this list. (Details) Works just fine there after - Jon ---------------Separate Dialogue------------------- I didn't follow this conversation, which seems to conclude it was a sendmail problem: 1. Bill Moseley asks question, seems quite relevant to me: *************** I have my lists all setup to use the full name of the host. DEFAULT_HOST_NAME = 'mardy.hank.org' This is the same host as simply hank.org. I just tried to subscribe to a list, and the confirm mail came like this: Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The list settings have not changes (they still say mardy.hank.org). The problem is I have all mail to @hank.org to one address in sendmail's virtusertable, so it needs to go to mardy.hank.org to not get bypassed by my virtusertable entry. So, the question is, why did mailman set the reply to to simply @hank.org instead of @mardy.hank.org? What settings should I look at? Bill Moseley mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] **************** 2. Jon Carnes answers: **************** So you changed it in your ~mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py file but did you go into the web-admin and change it on the General Options page for the lists that already exist? Host name this list prefers: mardy.hank.org Jon Carnes **************** 3. Bill Mosely responds: **************** At 05:59 PM 11/28/01 -0500, Jon Carnes wrote: >So you changed it in your ~mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py file but did you go >into the web-admin and change it on the General Options page for the lists >that already exist? > Host name this list prefers: mardy.hank.org Nope, that's what I meant when I said: > The list settings have not changes (they still say mardy.hank.org). Should have been The list's settings have not changes (they still say mardy.hank.org). I assume the settings are in the .db file for each list: > strings config.db | grep hank.org http://hank.org/mailman/s [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] mardy.hank.org0 Hum. ***************** 4. Then Bill seems to say he's found the answer: ***************** .... Wait, could it be sendmail is changing those headers? 250 mardy.hank.org Hello localhost [127.0.0.1], pleased to meet you mail from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 250 2.1.0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sender ok rcpt to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 250 2.1.5 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Recipient ok data 354 Enter mail, end with "." on a line by itself To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Errors-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: well?bye. 250 2.0.0 fASNBQu12953 Message accepted for deliveryquit----- mail ---- Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2001 15:11:33 -0800To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Errors-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: well? bye Damn. Never mind. Now, if I could only remember how to disable that.... ****************** And that was the entire dialogue... at: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2001-November/015752.html ---------------------Finally, some more!!!!--------------------------- At http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2001-November/015637.html Bill Moseley getting help from others now: Bill Moseley wrote: > Do people use shell scripts to do all this work?

I open two windows to my server: window 1 [ as mailman ]: ./bin/newlist - list name - email - password [ pause - go to window 2 ] window 2 [ as root ]: vi /etc/mail/aliases add list aliases vi /etc/mail/virtusertable add list users makemap on virtusertable newaliases [ back to window 1 ] window 1 [ as mailman ]: hit return MM sends out email.
