wee problem with web site showing "wrong" email address for the owner.
Hi All,
I have an issue with mailman's web interface when I go to mail a list owner, it shows "ssk at vuw.ac.xxxx" as the owner contact (which is correct, except for the @) but when you click URL on this to send an email it appears as ssk-owner@vuw.ac.xxxx in the email client applications.
This will not work as xxx-owner@vuw does not exist in the vuw.ac.xxxx domain. What I need the output to be is either ssk-owner@mailman.vuw.ac.xxxx which is the lists server or ssk@vuw.ac.xxxx which would go directly
How can I set this please?
regards
Steven

It appears that the underlying problem is an incorrect value for DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST either in Defaults.py or in the override in mm.cfg.py. From your explaination, it seems that it is vuw.ac.xxxx and should be mailman.vuw.ac.xxxx
You can fix it for the ssk list by going to the lists General Options page and setting "Host name this list prefers for email." to mailman.vuw.ac.xxxx, but you should fix DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST in mm_cfg.py so this doesn't happen with every new list.
