Hi all, Here's my situation:
a.example.com runs mailman. b.example.com hosts 90% of a.example.com's subsriber's addresses (i.e., 90% of my subscribers have [EMAIL PROTECTED] email addresses). c.example.com is a legacy system now setup to forward all incoming mail to the newer b.example.com system. Many users from the old system still prefer their [EMAIL PROTECTED] address and continue to use it. So, effectively, a mail account [EMAIL PROTECTED] is reachable as either [EMAIL PROTECTED], or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Obviously, if we turn on "subscribers only" posting on a list, people posting from c when subscribed as a b user gets his messages held for approval. Additionally, users can send mail via multiple interfaces -- secure shell into c (which still shows their from host as c), a webmail system on b (which uses a from host of b), and remote SMTP clients (and users can "correctly" set it up to use either b or c). The point of all this detail is to make the point that users are *not* incorrectly subscribed; rather, because the configurations are out of their hands, they become constricted to using one or the other, or wait for moderator approval. I don't know what the optimal solution would be, but my first guess would be to add a way to "alias" domains so that b and c are seen as equal by that particular filtering step. I don't know what other cases domain name comparisons occur in, but there might be other cases where the same comparison is desirable, and yet it might not be in all. If there's already a good way to work around this issue, fill me in. Otherwise, I'll have to see about coming up with a workaround myself (probably using the method I just described) -- but before I do, I'd like to hear any comments you have about whether that's the right way to go about fixing the problem. Thanks in advance. -- Toby Butzon ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/
