I have a curious situation. I could fix it, so there is no hurry to find a better solution, but I wonder where I failed :-).
I have a domain name (culte.org) that hold a mailman mailing lists server.
Under this domain, there is a (virtual) network. The real server is savage-reborn.culte.org
When mailman send the messages to the lists, no problem at all, the return path is <list-name>@culte.org
but when mailman send the monthly reminder, the return path is <listname>@savage-reborn.culte.org.
some recipients do not like to have the extra "savage-reborn" part and refuse the mail.
I don't know where I could change this without disturbing the server's working.
The MTA is postfix.
I could solve the problem adding savage-reborn in culte.org zone definitions.
any idea?
thanks jd

I'm a bit confused as to what you mean by return path. If you actually mean the Return-Path: header, it should be <list-name>-bounces@... in the case of list posts and mailman-bounces@... in the case of password reminders.
In any case, look at the host_name attribute of the 'mailman' site list on the list's General Options page and if it is savage-reborn.culte.org, change it to culte.org.
If this is not the issue, I think I'd need to see the full headers from a password reminder to understand the problem.

yes it's
linux-31-bounces@culte.org for usual messages
and
mailman-bounces@savage-reborn.culte.org
for the reminder message

below one of the return message (less the user adress). I guess I misconfigured some of the internal mailman (or postfix) config file :-(.

There are several things in the message below that say that is not the case and that the host_name of the 'mailman' list is savage-reborn.culte.org

Note that there are two messages involved here. There is the original password reminder that was undeliverable and there is the DSN to you notifying you of the undeliverable message
Return-Path: <mailman-loop@culte.org>
The above domain is normally the result of looking up DEFAULT_URL_HOST in VIRTUAL_HOSTS which in turn is normally DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST.

The original reminder follows.
There are several occurrences of savage-reborn.culte.org, some of which (List-ID: in particular) would not have been rewritten by Postfix and all of which originate from the host_name of the 'mailman' list.
Please note I am talking about the host_name of the list named 'mailman', not the list named 'linux-31'
