No, just plain installation of qmail-1.03 ezmlm 0.53 with SQL (mysql)
patches..

Just sql patches.

Lets say the virtualdomain is virtdomain.com, and actual dns name of the
server is s1.server.com
I provided the 'host' argument when making the list (to ezmlm-make) to be
virtdomain.com, and never mentioned s1.server.com (although its in the
/var/qmail/control/me file), and no where else.
The list itself was setup correctly because the files in the /text directory
were all setup with the 'virtdomain.com' in them.. Its just the Reply-To:,
and From: headers have the s1.server.com, and not virtdomain.com after the
@.

The most interesting thing is that I've noticed is when a user from a domain
name which is listed in /var/qmail/control/locals sends a request to
subscribe, the confirmation email shows the CORRECT virtdomain.com host
after the @. But, if a user which is not listed /var/qmail/control/locals
sends a request, the domain name is the name of the server (s1.server.com)
Can this explain something possibly?
Thanks for your efforts,
