[Mailman-Users] Virtual Domains

[JvdW]

My DNS is set up so that hostname.domain.com points to a A record. The 
virtual domain, mylist.anotherdomain.com is also set up with a A record 
pointing to the machines ip. No cnames. What bothers me is the fact that if I 
change the "This list" or "Explicit address" to anything other than to 
domains set up in sendmail.cw then the reply to address is exactly what I 
specified. The reply to poster also works fine.
