That is correct. Mailman knows nothing about it's IP. It does know something about domains *if* it's properly configured, but all it really knows is host names to put in URLs and email addresses. >I need listA to distribute on 1.2.3.4 and listB to distribute on 1.2.3.5. Then you will have to tell the outgoing MTA that mail with an envelope from listA-bounces.* is to be sent out via the adaptor/whatever whose IP is 1.2.3.4 and mail with envelope from listB-bounces.* is to be sent out via the adaptor/whatever whose IP is 1.2.3.5. If you can do that, then you've done it. If you can't, Mailman can't help you unless you're willing to modify Mailman so, for example, it connects to a different SMTP host and/or port for each list. >The reverse isnt really an issue, as once the mail gets to the MTA, it's >effectively at mailman, but I'm trying to wrap my head around a solution >for breaking up the outgoing mail onto separate IPs. if I recall, mailman >IS very much aware of its domain and addresses. isnt this going to cause >issues with rewriting virtualized envelopes? If your solution causes the envelope sender to be rewritten from say lista-boun...@lists.example.com to lista-boun...@someother.example.com, even this would not be a problem as long as lista-boun...@someother.example.com comes back to Mailman. If it doesn't, then automated bounce processing won't work. Mailman doesn't care about domains for mail. It relies on the incoming MTA to properly pipe incoming mail to the mail wrapper. As long as that happens, the domain it was addressed to doesn't matter. The only place domains mean anything is in the web interface, and even then, only if VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW is On. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
