Server name change - how?
When I originally set up mailman my server had a name that wasn't in DNS. I have since changed the name of my server to something that is in DNS. But, emails that go out still reference the old name and some messages are bouncing because the recipient does a DNS check on incoming emails.
How can this be fixed?
Thanks.

It's probably in the configuration of the mailing list itself (directive host_name I would guess).

As far as Mailman is concerned, the domain used in all email from a list is the list's host_name attribute which is near the bottom of the list's General Options web admin page. You can set the for a given list from that page and/or set appropriate values for DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST and add_virtualhost directives in mm_cfg.py and run fix_url to update existing lists. See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/gIA9>.
Note, if the list's host_name is what you want, but outgoing mail references a different domain, it is probably due to your MTA rewriting the domain. Fixing this is an MTA question, but see the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/uYA9>.
