When I set up a list as a sysadmin, even for someone else, I invariably log in to the web interface to make sure it works. :)
Agreed, but fairly non-trivial to automate ;-0 Thus, command line...
Is I indicated in a previous post, bin/config_list can change it. It should be fairly simple to script writing "host_name = 'something'" to a file and then doing bin/config_list -i that_file listname.
It's not like the setting is easy to find or understand for joe user.
It's our biggest FAQ.Interesting...
Do you happen to know where users look for this setting? If most people are looking in the same (wrong) place, then maybe it'd make sense to move the setting there.
"everywhere" according to them ;-)
It is probably a labeling thing more than a placement issue. Anyway, the goal is to have the script set up the mailing list in a working manner automatically. If they break it, they break it. But setting up the list in a broken manner and requiring the user to fix it is less useful.
I am curious. I'm not questioning your need, I'm just wondering why you have a need to create a list in a particular web domain with an email host different from the one set for that domain in VIRTUAL_HOSTS.
