[Mailman-Users] problem creating new list on the web - Unkown Virtual Host

[Christopher Adams]

Brad,

Sorry for putting you through that. 'mailinglists.state.or.us' is not
the actual domain name. I used it as an example. The actual name is
'listsmart.osl.state.or.us' and does exist in DNS.

I have a server with 2 NICs. One of the NICs has the
'listsmart.osl.state.or.us' IP attached to it along with another IP. I
don't know if that makes any difference.
