Mark,
Is there a way to force Mailman to send this password reminder e-mails so that I can see what the message looks like now that I have been able to edit and lock the mm_cfg.py file ? I would like to verify if this has fixed the problem and also look at the headers.
Thank you,
Joe

The message I shared was sent by Mailman prior to the changes I made to the mm_cfg.py file. Is it possible that the reason a.main.private appeared on the e-mail was because the configuration file was edited by Apple's Server Admin and displayed it instead of domain.com as it should ?
In other words, if the configuration file was as follows:
MTA = 'Postfix' DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'a.main.private' DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'a.main.private' VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear() add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST) POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['domain.com'] VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW = Off
Would this generate the change in the e-mail sent by Mailman so that it would display the server name instead of the domain name ?

I have received some mail from Mailman that looks as follows:

Probably, but you need to look at the full raw headers of the message rather than what's displayed as From: by some MUA.
with VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW Off, there are potentially 3 domains involved. These are the DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST domain, the host_name attribute of the 'mailman' list and the 'host_name' attribute of the individual lists.
The list(s) in the body of the password reminder are identified as list@domain. This domain is the host_name attribute of the list. This only appears in the body, not in the headers of the reminder.
Additionally, the reminder is From: mailman-owner@domain where domain is DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST, but the envelope sender (Return-Path: header) and the Sender: and Errors-To: headers are all mailman-bounces@domain where domain is the host_name attribute of the 'mailman' list.
