mailman 2.1.4 is running. Users can mail to different lists.
mailman is running on bluecherweb with the exim3 local_domains=...;gym-nippes.dnsalias.org
In mm_config.py I have: DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'lists.gym-nippes.dnsalias.org'
I have some problems with headers in emails from <list>-bounces.
When a new user subscribes a list there is sent an email to him by <list>-bounces. It leaves our mailer-relay with the header: from=<list>-bounces@lists.gym-nippes.dnsalias.org
May 13 08:07:14 stargate sendmail[12300]: IAA12300: from=<linkus-dev-bounces@lists.gym-nippes.dnsalias.org>, si ze=2280, class=-60, pri=140280, nrcpts=1, msgid=<mailman.0.1084428453.12449.linkus-dev@lists.gym-nippes.dnsalia s.org>, proto=ESMTP, relay=mail@bluecherweb.bluecher [192.168.4.50] May 13 08:07:15 stargate sendmail[12302]: IAA12300: to=<gubitz@redwitz79.de>, delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=relay, relay=smtp.netcologne.de. [194.8.194.218], stat=Sent (Ok: queued as B55983A120)
When the mail arrives at the user for confirming the headers are wrong:
From: linkus-dev-request@gym-nippes.dnsalias.org To: gubitz@redwitz79.de Subject: confirm eca026472cf31fb7bc7693e5d2e49b42ac3a1847 Reply-To: linkus-dev-request@gym-nippes.dnsalias.org Message-ID: <mailman.0.1084428453.12449.linkus-dev@lists.gym-nippes.dnsalias.org> Date: Thu, 13 May 2004 08:07:33 +0200 Precedence: bulk X-BeenThere: linkus-dev@lists.gym-nippes.dnsalias.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.4 List-Id: Linkus Entwicklung <linkus-dev.lists.gym-nippes.dnsalias.org> X-List-Administrivia: yes Sender: linkus-dev-bounces@gym-nippes.dnsalias.org Errors-To: linkus-dev-bounces@gym-nippes.dnsalias.org
He would send his confirming to <list>-request@gym-nippes.dnsalias.org, but not to <list>-request@lists.gym-nippes.dnsalias.org
What is setup wrong?
-Mailman? -mail-server on bluecherweb, where mailman is running? -mail-server on our relay?

Note that lists.gym-nippes.dnsalias.org is a CNAME alias to
gym-nippes.dnsalias.org. This causes problems because the SMTP mail RFCs require that all CNAME aliases be replaced by the canonical names to which they point. Make lists.gym-nippes.dnsalias.org point directly to an IP address, and you should be fine.
Your DNS.
