so we have an automated setup between a CMS forum and mailman to create
lists, having a little confusion about what values to pass config_list
trying to understand what these three values govern: listhost vs
hostname vs host_name
See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/lYA9>.
I don't know what 'listhost' or 'hostname' are. They are not list
attributes. If you are referring to something specific in the
documentation, you'll have to tell me what, and I can then translate
it for you.
sorry I think i mixed myself up and confused listhost for emailhost
host_name is a list attribute that is described if the above referenced
FAQ and which is set directly from the -e option to bin/newlist.
really? that doesn't seem to be the case. I'm creating a list with
newlist and passing the subdomain value with -e and it only seems to set
the emailhost value. which works for setting the domain name properly on
some portions of the email like to address, but list-bounces@ and tpls
have the host_name wrong. its not until I set the host_name with
config_list that the subdomain is properly set everywhere.
I do have things working now. but I got it working by setting both -e
and host_name in a config file passed to config_list.
thanks for your help!
right now we set -e emailhost via newlist, this has resulted in some
incorrect data displaying in emails. this seems to set the listhost
value but not host_name or hostname.
Actually, it sets host_name, and as I said, I don't know what
'listhost' and 'hostname' are.
we are attaching all lists to a subdomain. so like [EMAIL PROTECTED]
emails from the lists setup however are coming from
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and in the emails the post to email address
is give as [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Both those domains come directly from the host_name attribute.
postfix and mailman however are working find at accepting emails to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and processing them through the lists.
so I thought, hmm... maybe we need to set hostname to 'sub.domain.com'.
but I also see that the templates for emails have 2 different hostname
params: hostname and host_name.
What a template refers to as 'hostname' can be anything. For example,
the 'hostname' substitution in cronpass.txt (the monthly password
reminder) is either the list's host_name or it is DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST
depending on the setting of VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW. In most other
cases, it is the list's host_name.
can someone explain the differences between all there and how to get our
list configurations right using the commandline commands for our
subdomained lists?
First you have to get mm_cfg.py correct. See the initial part of the
FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/gIA9>. Then you should be able to
create new lists with bin/newlist without specifying -u or -e, and the
defaults should be good.
oh PS - is there a command also to patch our existing lists to set the
host name values correctly. thanks
bin/withlist -l -a -r fix_url
run
bin/fix_url.py
and/or search the FAQ for fix_url for more information.
