Hey guys
WHen I configure my mm_cfg.py file to override the defaults for hostname and
hosturl, do I need to have a DNS entry for the host or would it be ok just
to use a public IP address?

Also can I use a internal IP (priavte IP for use within the network or
should I sue a public IP)

thanks
raghu

Subject: Configuring Mailman with an MTA running on a different box


Hi Guys
I wanted to find out how to configure Mailman so that I can make it work
when my MTA is running on a different box. I have my Mailman installed on a
box thats running Red Hat Linux 7.3, but this one doesnt have a DNS entry or
anything and hence I wanted to use a different box that has DNS entry and
can be used as my MTA. So what configuration would I have to do on my box
running Mailman and what configuration would I have to do on my box running
my MTA which is SendMail (its also a linux platofrm).
Please let me know.


thanks
raghu
