Thanks to Mark, Brad, and the rest who have lent their input. I have
one more question though, hopefully with an easy answer I'm simply not
seeing.
I've got a Mailman installation that was built on box A. Box A's
default domain is the .priv domain, but that domain is only visible to
the internal network. So, box A's internal domain is .priv to all the
internal boxes; to the external boxes, it's A.foo.com. However, Mailman
seems to be sending out messages to list moderators with regard to new
member requests with A.priv as the sending hostname/domain. As a
result, the return address is mailman-bounces at A.priv (instead of
mailman-bounces at lists.foo.com) Needless to say, when other mail servers
test for the existence of an MX record for the .priv domain, it doesn't
exist.
I've double-checked, using the config_list utility, that host_name was
correct, and it is...I've got "host_name = lists.foo.com". Is there
some other option I can set within Mailman to change the default
domain? Or is this something I need to fix at the MTA level? All other
mail (e.g., mail not being sent out by Mailman) seems to go out with the
correct domain name, but I'm not discounting anything at this point.
Thanks in advance for any input/advice.
Best Regards,
Ryan
