[Mailman-Users] Troubleshooting install: dealing with 10.0.0.n(local server address) [BYPASSED]

[Dirk van Oosterbosch, IR labs]

Hi,

I tried a few server configurations, using VIRTUAL_HOSTS_OVERVIEW = Off 
AND without that line, but indeed Mailman treats lists created under 
10.0.0.3 as seperate from http://mysubdomain.ourdomain.com. It can't 
figure out from just the requested url, from which network this web 
request is coming (my local network or the rest of the world).
So that doesn't help me when I want to configure -using the 
webinterface- the lists which I host from my machine.

Fortunately for me my isp has a server which I can login to using ssh. 
And now I using that route and links (the command line text browser) 
instead of my normal browser on my local machine.
localhost -> ssh to remote.server.net -> links 
http://mysubdomain.ourdomain.com/mailman/admin

And that solution works just fine for me. Thought of sharing that with 
you lot.
best,
d
