Ok, I got sidetracked a long time ago, and because this isn't pressing, it went to a back-burner, but I'm ready to do this now. My apologies in advance if I'm being overly cautious, but I've avoided a lot of problems, some major, by asking a lot of questions before doing something like this that I've never done before.
Goal is simple: change the URL/hostname for my lists from their current 'myhost.example.com' to 'lists.example.com'. If it matters, these lists are *not* publicly accessible, and they are *not* archived. After re-reading the two FAQs regarding this, I have a few things I'm not certain of, so will pose the questions one at a time, and will include my current Defaults.py and my new mm_cfg.py with the new settings/changes commented at the bottom of each message. The first question I have is about POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS. In the FAQs about changing hostnames, this setting is not mentioned. Now, this server only hosts lists for one domain: example.com. So - should I also change that setting to lists.example.com too (per below)? Or, since I am not running lists for more than one domain, can my setup be simplified somehow? Or does it even come into play? Thanks, Charles ******************* My current and proposed new settings: Defaults.py currently contains > DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'myhost.example.com' > DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'myhost.example.com' > DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s/mailman/' And my current/recently edited mm_cfg.py - the commented settings/lines below are the changes I've added, in preparation for the change, and will just comment/uncomment the relevant ones to 'flip the switch': > ################################################## > # Put YOUR site-specific settings below this line. > MTA = 'Postfix' > #DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'example.com' > #DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'lists.example.com' > #add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST) > #VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear() > DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'https://%s/mailman/' > #POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['lists.example.com'] > POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['myhost.example.com'] > ALLOW_SITE_ADMIN_COOKIES = Yes ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
