Yes, that text is misleading, but help text for the list's host_name attribute on the General Options page is more clear. Also, I wouldn't say the two hosts are "normally" the same. In the simplest case, host_name comes from DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST and the web_page_url host comes from DEFAULT_URL_HOST and these are often different even if only in that DEFAULT_URL_HOST is prefixed with www. >Anyway, what I want basically is for all web URLs to reference example.NET, >but for the list's email addresses (post/owner/bounce addresses etc) to all >use example.COM (a completely different domain). So the list's email >addresses are independent of the web URL. That's why every list has a web host (the host part of web_page_url) and an email host (host_name). >This should ideally also affect any other applicable variables such as >listinfo_url, optionsurl and so on, as well as any hard-coded (absolute) >links in the admin GUI.
