Greetings all,

First-time poster here. I have Mailman 2.1.5 that has been running great for years on an older Solaris 8 server. I received a request to create a list using a host name that's not the actual host name of the server. Let's say the server is "lists.university.edu" and the requested list name is "[email protected]".

I read up what I could find (and understand) about virtual hosts and I was able to successfully create the list with the alternate host name, configure Apache to have a virtual host pointed to the web interface for that list, and I added a domain to our DNS and set up the host name there. I can subscribe to the list and post to it using the virtual host name, but email coming out from the list has the real host name as the reply address.

Everything I've read mentions configuring Postfix for virtual hosts. However, I'm not using Postfix - my Defaults.py has MTA = 'Manual' and DELIVERY_MODULE = 'SMTPDirect'.

Is there anything I can do to get the list to use the virtual host name for a reply address on outgoing email without installing and using Postfix? I have no experience with it and am trying to keep it simple.

Thanks for any help you can offer,
Tim
