I have DEFAULT_HOST_NAME = 'discuss.pentax.com'

DEFAULT_HOST_NAME = 'discuss.pentax.com'

mm_cfg.py is for the *LOCAL* settings, and things in there are overridden by values in mm_cfg.py. However, when sending a message the preferred host name is taken from the value set in the main config panel "Host name this list prefers".

Have you been looking at your MTA with the same ferver that you've been looking at Mailman? My bet is that it's some sort of interaction with the MTA, but you haven't mentioned what you're using.

I am using sendmail 8.9.3, I have gone as far to:

Change the sendmail.cf to force it to use the host discuss.pentax.com, changing the reverse DNS for the machine to it matched the A record for discuss.pentax.com changed the hostname on the machine

and (not to sound like a broken record, but people keep emailing me with their wisdom, and never noticed I've already stated this) I HAVE IT SET VIA THE WEB PAGE FOR "Host name this list prefers." set to the RIGHT host.

Uh... If you changed sendmail to rewrite the headers on the outgoing message, that *SHOULD* correct any issues that may be happening in mailman. You're saying that when you changed sendmail to force the header it still isn't getting the right host? Presuming you made the sendmail.cf change correctly, are you sure what you're seeing isn't happening on the receiving side? I mean, if sendmail is doing the correct rewriting then there's not much of an alternative for where the problem is occuring (*IF* sendmail is doing the rewriting you expect it to).
