virtual domain support...
Hi there,
I was wondering if someone could point me to some documentation on how to get Mailman to specify a specific "From: " domain when masking the real sender?
I have anonymous_list set to "Yes", and I have host_name set to "domainthatiwant.com" ... When I send mail to the list, the From address gets set to "listname-admin@machinesdomain.com". I would really like to be able to control what the From address gets set to, but I can't find it anywhere. I've changed the delivery mode from SMTPDirect to Sendmail and back, but nothing. I've tried playing with Sendmails generics table... nothing. Any help would be appreciated. -peace

Sendmail use FQDN. If you have a CNAME for domainthatitwant.com, sendmail will replace it with machinesdomain.com.
For your mailing lists you can set only MX as: domainthatitwant.com MX 10 machinesdomain.com
anything else.

The machine in question acts as MX for several domains. I'd like to be able to set the "From: " domain to act as any of these. Majordomo can do it, but I'd really like to get away from Majordomo because I like Mailman's anonymous_list option (it's being begged for right now).
The web page admin.cgi says this about the host_name variable:
"The host_name is the preferred name for email to mailman-related addresses on this host, and generally should be the mail host's exchanger address, if any. This setting can be useful for selecting among alternative names of a host that has multiple addresses."
The documentation on the website says this:
"For multi-home hosts (systems that have different aliases) this would be the value that Mailman uses to identify itself. You should not attempt to modify this value without consulting your system administrator or Mailman may cease to work."
I am just guessing (because none of the documentation I've seen is particularly clear on anything) that this is supposed to do what I want to do, but it doesn't. Is this a bug? Is this the same as majordomo's "$whereami" variable? -peace
