[Mailman-Users] Question re. moving a mailing list

[Richard Johnson]

Ok, it looks as if specifying my "General Options" -> "Host name this list prefers for email" as "mischievous.us" will force the From address on all outgoing messages to say "testlist at mischievous.us".  Since that matches with the original To address, then a Reply-all will not produce two addresses.

I think this will work for me and then when I'm ready to really move totally over, I'll just change it.

Thanks for the help!
