[Mailman-Users] My second request for help

[M. Robert Martin]

I was wondering the same thing more or less. Would Mailman drop the domain
if the "Preferred Domain for this list" is blank? The HELO command is
supposed to identify the connecting machine as I recall. The connecting
machine is the SMTP portion of the MTA, right? Presumably, that would
mean that Sendmail doesn't know it's own name. Does that come from
/etc/HOSTNAME on RedHat?
