[Bug 716561] [NEW] waiting" email contains a link that uses the vHosts name instead of the systems host name
Public bug reported: Using Mailman version 2.1.14 on a cPanel host. The "MgtTeam moderator request(s) waiting" email contains a link that uses the vHosts name instead of the systems host name which ends up being a broken link because the website is hosted on another server. (cPanel host= host1.example.com while the virtual host account name is virtualdomain.com, where virtualdomain.com does not point host1.example.com. The link presented in the email would be http://virtualdomain.com/mailman/admindb/mgtteam_virtualdomain.com where it should be http://host1.example.com/mailman/admindb/mgtteam_virtualdomain.com. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/716561 Title: waiting" email contains a link that uses the vHosts name instead of the systems host name
This is a cPanel issue, not a Mailman bug. If you have sufficient access to the server, you can create lists with Mailman's /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/bin/newlist instead of cPanel's list creation process and you can specify the the name of the hosts for web and email access separately. You probably still need to specify the list name as LIST_virtualdomain.com so that the cPanel Exim router properly routes mail sent to the LIST@virtualdomain.com list. For the existing list, if you have sufficient access, you could "fix" this by using Mailman's /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/bin/withlist tool to set the host you want in the list's hidden web_page_url attribute. Also, see the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/sYA9>. ** Changed in: mailman Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: mailman Status: New => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/716561 Title: waiting" email contains a link that uses the vHosts name instead of the systems host name
I am working with cPanel to change this without adding an inconsistent "Monkey Patch" in the backend of cPanel. Thanks for the advise and the FAQ link. --ACE ** Changed in: mailman Assignee: (unassigned) => Andrew Erickson (aerickson-voonami) ** Changed in: mailman Assignee: Andrew Erickson (aerickson-voonami) => (unassigned) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/716561 Title: waiting" email contains a link that uses the vHosts name instead of the systems host name
