Read through Defaults.py, under Debian it resides at /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Defaults.py but if you are using another distribution YMMV. It's very liberally commented, so you shouldn't have any trouble with it. It says it in their, but I'll repeat it anyway, don't make changes to Defaults.py, because it'll be overwritten whenever you upgrade Mailman to a new version, instead make the changes in your mm_cfg.py file (on Debian that's in /etc/mailman). > if you subscribe to a list, the confirmation message asks you to reply > to "internal.yoyodyne.com". > > is it possible to *completely* conceal the internal name of a mailing > list host? during configuration, i did my best to avoid using the > internal name and used only the "lists" name, but i'm assuming that > mailman is invoking "hostname" or something to that effect somewhere > along the way. The DEFAULT_URL, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST and DEFAULT_URL_HOST all control the hostname which Mailman uses for its web interface, and on the emails that it sends. DEFAULT_URL = 'http://lists.yoyodyne.com' DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'lists.yoyodyne.com' DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'lists.yoyodyne.com' From Defaults.py: "Mailman needs to know about (at least) two fully-qualified domain names (fqdn); 1) the hostname used in your urls, and 2) the hostname used in email addresses for your domain. For example, if people visit your Mailman system with "http://www.dom.ain/mailman"; then your url fqdn is "www.dom.ain", and if people send mail to your system via "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" then your email fqdn is "dom.ain". DEFAULT_URL_HOST controls the former, and DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST controls the latter. Mailman also needs to know how to map from one to the other (this is especially important if you're running with virtual domains). You use "add_virtualhost(urlfqdn, emailfqdn)" to add new mappings."
