[Mailman-Users] IP's instead of FQDN

[James Pifer]

Actually I did look those over, but someone on another list (before
joining this one) told me I didn't need to do all that. Obviously they
were mistaken.

I looked it over again and not being a sendmail expert I'm uncomfortable
with the changes since this is my main mail server running MailScanner,
etc. So I'm going to try putting it on another machine. 

Let me ask you this, more of a sendmail question. If I install Mailman
on another machine, could I have it use the same domain, and have my
main Sendmail server forward email for specific addresses, like lists,
to this other mailman server? Would that work? The mailman server would
be able to deliver directly. 

Also, if I do it on another machine, should I use something other than
Sendmail? Are any of the others easier to integrate? From the files it
looks like postfix. 

Thanks for your time.
