You will need to modify source to make everything work. I am guessing you have VIRTUAL_HOSTS_OVERVIEW = Off or No in mm_cfg.py although you don't mention it above. This enables several things which will cease working if you remove this or set it On. Among the things which won't work are: http://10.0.0.n/mailman/admin and http://10.0.0.n/mailman/listinfo will not show any lists unless you "add_virtual_host('10.0.0.n', '10.0.0.n')" and then it will show those lists created in the 10.0.0.n domain, but these in turn will not show on the http://mysubdomain.ourdomain.com/mailman/admin and http://mysubdomain.ourdomain.com/mailman/listinfo pages. You also won't be able to create lists from the http://10.0.0.n/mailman/create page unless you "add_virtual_host('10.0.0.n', '10.0.0.n')" and then those list will be created in the 10.0.0.n domain. However, I think if you do remove VIRTUAL_HOSTS_OVERVIEW from mm_cfg.py, then the links in the admin interface will reflect the host domain in the invoking URL. Of course, if you don't have VIRTUAL_HOSTS_OVERVIEW = Off or No in mm_cfg.py (and haven't changed it in Defaults.py which you should never do), then I don't know what I'm talking about and you can ignore this post. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
