I installed configured Mailman v2.1.5 with Exim4 v4.50 on a remote server
www.windfinder.com (see http://www.exim.org/howto/mailman21.html).
I created a mailing list called 'testlist' and tried to post to the list by
sending a message to testlist at windfinder.com from the list owner's e_mail
account on my local mail client.
I I send to testlist at server.windfinder.com get this reply:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If I send to testlist at windfinder.com the message is always rejected.
I think I the problem has to do with setting the host and domain names right
in:
mm_cfg.py:
-----------------
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'server.windfinder.com'
/etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template:
----------------------------------------------
# Domains that your lists are in - colon separated list
# you may wish to add these into local_domains as well
domainlist
mm_domains=windfinder.com:server.windfinder.com:www.windfinder.com:list.windfinder.com
# I do not know which values is right, so I entered every value, separated by
colons.
General options for [testlist] (var/lib/mailman/lists/testlis/config.pck:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
host_name (general): Host name this list prefers for email:
server.windfinder.com
I checked /etc/hosts:
------------------------------
127.0.0.1 server server.windfinder.com www.windfinder.com localhost
How I do I get this right?
