The machine does not have an IP number or an address which is accessible from the internet. A setting like "mailman.localhost" seems not to work. The web interface does not need to be available from "outside". I will need to use an outside SMTP- and POP3 server for mail exchange, since the machine is behind a router with a dynamic IP address assigned by the access provider according to their needs.
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST is the domain name associated with the addresses that receive list mail. I.e. if a list posting address is [email protected], DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST should be set to 'example.com'. It doesn't matter if this is an external mail exchange server, but whatever the email domain is should be the DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST value. DEFAULT_URL_HOST is the host portion of the URL that will be used to access the Mailman web UI. mailman.localhost should be acceptable if in fact http://mailman.localhost/ URLs will work. Also, it's supposed to be a "fully qualified" domain name, but I think just 'localhost' will work for DEFAULT_URL_HOST. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
