Most of you probably backup up your Mailman machine and save the
archive on tape or on some other related machine.
What I have attempted to do is create two mailman machines, identical
hardware and software with the same lists on both keeping them in sync.
When one goes down I can use the other, of course both machine have a
different host name, but I use a CNAME (configured in the bind tables)
to keep the same address for users to use their mailing list without
having to switch to a different SMTP Host Name if the primary Mailman
machine goes down. Only problem when I send out messages to the lists,
the To: header field always displays the SMTP host name not the CNAME
when the message is received. I have tryed using Masqurading rules in
Red Hat 6.0 Sendmail configuration, but it does not work, which is
below. Has everyone tried this sort of thing, or does anyone know a
solution to this problem? Why my masquerade rules will not work?
