setting to use IP address rather than normal URL
We are hosting our website on a different web host than the email and Mailman mailing lists. This is causing problems with the Admin side of Mailman as the DNS servers point to the web site host and not the mail host. I can get around it for much of the admin tasks by changing the URL to the IP address except for some (i.e. moderating). Is there someplace in Mailman where I can input the IP address so it always goes there instead of the normal URL (i.e. website.com)?
TIA!

I don't have an answer to your question, but do you have access to your DNS servers? If so, I would recommend you create a host address like lists.example.com and have that point to your e-mail server. That way all of your url redirects will work correctly.

set
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'
in mm_cfg.py where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address. If there is already a setting of DEFAULT_URL_HOST and DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST in mm_cfg.py followed by
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)
just change the DEFAULT_URL_HOST setting. Otherwise see the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/gIA9>.
In either case, after changing mm_cfg.py, restart Mailman and run fix_url - see the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/mIA9>.
