Hello,
I have two machines on my LAN both with the same domain name. Mailman is installed on machine A but for actual SMTP mailman work I would like to use machine B (as machine A is a bit stressed with other tasks). I cannot use the domain entered in the general settings for a list (because smtp servers on both machines have the same domian). Is it possible to specify a LAN address of machine B so that mailman uses this machine for all of its operations? Bounces and all other requests would come to machine A anyway as this is defined at the router level.
Thank you very much in advance!

For outgoing SMTP, yes. Just set (for example)
SMTPHOST = '192.168.0.5'
in mm_cfg.py. You can also set
SMTPPORT = nn
if nn is other than 25.

Thank you very much! That's very helpful. I will be able to delegate the mailman job to machine B and won't have to worry about overloading it (due to personalization) as it generally does almost nothing. :)
