Did you key those in /after/ you created your test list? If so, and if DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST was the empty string at the time you created your list, then I can see how your list's host_name attribute would be the empty string. Remember that changing DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST after the fact doesn't update your list configs.
Can't remember it if I don't know it. Thanks.
So, you need to fix host_name (and probably web_page_url). Only the former can be changed on the General admin page. Both of course can be changed via withlist.
Or I can remove the list and reinstantiate it, right?
Both DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST and DEFAULT_URL_HOST are calculated by configure, so look at your configure output to see if it got the right values or not. If not, then you need to look seriously at your DNS setup, or your Python installation. socket.getfqdn() better return the fully qualified domain name for your machine, or you've got problems, but they ain't in Mailman.
They came up empty. Hostname had been set to a name with an underscore in it, which didn't DNS.
JRA> Do I have to reinstall *again*?You should almost /never/ have to completely reinstall. At worst you might have to re-run configure and "make install", and perhaps do a little fixup with withlist (if your configure screwed up and you didn't catch it until your created some lists).
Nah; it'll be easier to reinstall.
No real lists yet.
