Hmm - yes, you're right - I was misled by the help text on the
"msg_footer"
page in the GUI, which says that host_name is "The fully qualified domain
name that the list server runs on", rather than the email domain. However
I
believe host_name is actually meant to be the email's domain, as you've
noted. Obviously by default they are normally one and the same thing
though.
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.
It does.
I don't want to use example.COM for the web URL, because I want to use
that
elsewhere for another website and not have it used for the Mailman web
interface. I know that sounds complicated, but I'm just wondering if this
is
possible (and not difficult) to accomplish.
Yes.

Good to know it's possible! So how is this done? I'm deducing that I
accomplish this by modifying DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST and/or DEFAULT_URL_HOST? If
so, where do I find those values exactly?
Is it possible to make these two variables editable via the GUI, or can they
only be modified via some setting file on the server?
