Hi
We're building a new Mailman server to replace an aging system. In order to run it alongside the live system, the new server currently has a different hostname but the intention is that we will eventually CNAME the old name over to the new one so that there will be continuity of service.
At the moment, moderator emails from the new system are using the FQDN of the new system. I have edited /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py so that DEFAULT_URL_HOST and DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST are explicitly set to the FQDN of the *old* server, but moderator emails are not reflecting this change in configuration.
The new server is running Red Hat 6.1 and Mailman was installed from the RHEL repo.
Thank you for any advice or suggestions.
Regards
Philip
