Dear Folks,

I have just moved to a new ISP which blocks ports 80, 25 incoming.

I have hosted (and hope to continue to host) two mailing lists, which worked fine till the change.

I also have access to a web server pointed to by dns A record nicku.org on which I cannot install mailman, but on which I can install redirects, use mod_rewrite, and configure apache on. Postfix listens on port 25 on www3.nicku.org and can send mail via ISP mail server. An MX record for nicku.org points to mail.nicku.org, which in turn points as an A record to an email hosting service. www3.nicku.org is the new address of this machine hosting mailman.

I would like to ask:

1. Any suggestions on a good way to configure mailman in this situation? My current method (dns points to this machine, www3.nicku.org, apache listening on port 8080, redirect from remote nicku.org to www3.nicku.org:8080) seems not right yet; attempts to click on the "Submit All Data" button on the admindb page just return the same page, without any apparent action having taken place.
2. I am running fetchmail as root, with a .fetchmailrc as shown below. Does that look correct? Any suggestions?
3. the /var/log/mailman/smtp-failure log shows multiple (failed) attempts to send mail to fetchmail-daemon@www3.nicku.org; how do I persuade mailman to send to the correct address?
4. Are there any special settings I need for mailman to match this arrangement better? Currently the changes to my mm_cfg.py are: DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'www3.nicku.org:8080' DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'nicku.org' add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)

Note that people access the web pages via http://nicku.org/mailman/listinfo/camwest-discuss and http://nicku.org/mailman/listinfo/camwest-announce.

where userxx is the username configured on the email hosting service, to which dns A record mail.nicku.org points.

I will be grateful for any suggestions.
