You missed cron/mailpasswds Mailman/MailList.py Mailman/Cgi/create.py bin/fix_url.py bin/newlist and also references to the VIRTUAL_HOSTS dictionary which always contains at leasy the one add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST) entry in Mailman/Utils.py Mailman/Cgi/create.py bin/fix_url.py bin/newlist >My question: Does DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST have an effect on the mailman >instance when I am not using (e.g. Postfix) virtual hosts?

I don't think the "aliases" file "belongs" to any host.

Sending >mails to the lists works without any problems. DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST affects the value assigned to the list's host_name attribute at list creation time depending on exactly how and with what options the list is created. The list's host_name in turn is used as the domain part of every list email address exposed by Mailman. It also determines in a Postfix integration environment whether virtual mappings for list addresses are created in data/virtual-mailman depending on whether or not the lists host_name matches an entry in POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
