I have a number of Mailman (2.1.9) lists configured on a couple of different servers, all of which are configured to send out monthly password reminders. The URL and designated email hostname for these lists are defined in add_virtualhost calls in mm_cfg.py, and the lists work as expected in most respects. Both the list email addresses and the URLs for each list reference virtual mail and web servers.
There's one catch. Monthly password reminders go out to subscribers to each list, from "mailman-owner@<list_host>", not a problem in and of itself, however the text of each of these messages suggest mailing to "mailman-request@<list host>" and "mailman-owner@<list host>. The "mailman" list is the system mailman list which isn't addressable via virtual domains, only by addressing mailman at the primary host name. I can configure a "mailman" alias for each virtual mail domain, however mail to "mailman-request" at this domain sends back information on the mailman list, not the list to which the person is subscribed, and mail to "mailman-owner" comes to me, rather than the list owner as it should. A specific example: I have a list addressed as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" which sends out a monthly reminder which comes from "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". The message contains the text: "For more info, send a message to the '-request' address of the list (for example, [EMAIL PROTECTED]) ..." and "If you have questions, problems, comments, etc, send them to [EMAIL PROTECTED]" These addresses should be "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". I host these lists commercially and don't want to have to deal with questions which should go to the list admins. Looking at the code, these addresses appear to rely on the singular variable MAILMAN_SITE_LIST which is site-wide and can't be set per-list. Is there any way to fix this? -- Lindsay Haisley | "In an open world, | PGP public key FMP Computer Services | who needs Windows | available at 512-259-1190 | or Gates" | http://pubkeys.fmp.com http://www.fmp.com | | ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
