Hi guys,
I have mailman running in a basic configuration now and all seems to work.
I'd like to change the way the email address appears.
We have a naming standard for our computers as follows e.g. IT012345.mydomain.com I have created an alias in the DNS called lists.mydomain.com
I post my message to mailman@lists.mydomain.com and it arrives fine.
The sender appears to be mailman-bounces@it012345.mydomain.com and the recipient appears to be mailman@it012345.mydomain.com
Question is how can I change IT012345 with lists? My mm_cfg.py file and postfix main.cf file point to lists.mydomain.com
Also why does the sender appears to be mailman-bounces and not just mailman? Can this be changed too?
Cheers

If this is Mailman it is because the list's host_name parameter (on the General Options page) is it012345.mydomain.com and changing it to lists.mydomain.com will help, but I suspect it may be your MTA rewriting it.

See <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.069.htp>.
The envelope sender is mailman-bounces so bounces will be returned there for automated bounce processing.
The Sender: header is set to the same address because of non-compliant MTAs that return bounces to the Sender:. This may be changed in a future release. See <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq02.003.htp>
