[Mailman-Users] Bounce Message, ReturnPath/ErrorsTo issue

[Michael Kabot]

Mark,

The modification to scripts/owner will do the trick for me.

I have owner notifications turned off on all lists, so no need to modify
Message.py.

Thank again for the assistance.

Mike

| 
| Yes. add_virtualhost('xxx.somedomain') is equivalent to
| add_virtualhost('xxx.somedomain', 'somedomain').

| 
| 
| It looks that way. See <http://docs.python.org/lib/module-socket.html>.

| 
| You can set that in the scripts/owner script for messages sent directly
| to or via the -owner address. This will get some but not all owner
| notifications. To get the rest, you also have to look at
| Mailman/Message.py. In the definition of the OwnerNotification()
| class's __init__ method there is
| 
|         sender = Utils.get_site_email(mlist.host_name, 'bounces')
| 
| which set's the sender similarly to the way the owner script does
| except it usees the list's host_name attribute as the domain of the
| mailman-bounces address.
