[Mailman-Users] E-mail in different domain than list server?

[Alan Hagge]

We have a situation that I wouldn't think would be TOO unique, but I 
can't find a way to make it operate correctly under Mailman (version 
2.1.5 in this case, but tried with 2.1.1 as well).  Specifically, our 
e-mail domain is completely different than our web domain:

    E-mail domain:    company.com
    Web domain:      org.othercompany.net

So in mm_cfg.py, I _think_ I should use:

    DEFAULT_URL_HOST   = 'org.othercompany.net'
    DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'company.com'

    # Because we've overriden the virtual hosts above add_virtualhost
    # MUST be called after they have been defined.

    add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)

But when I examine the pages that Mailman creates with these settings, 
various links appear to be using the DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST setting to 
generate the full URL, rather than the DEFAULT_URL_HOST.  For example on 
the main page, where the link appears for "the list admin overview 
page", the URL is:  http://company.com/mailman/admin , not 
http://org.othercompany.net/mailman/admin as I would have expected.  
Also, at the bottom of each lists' page, the link entitled "Overview of 
all <company.com> mailing lists" uses DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST.  Even the 
title of the main page shows "company.com Mailing Lists".

It seems to boil down to the use of Utils.get_domain(), which appears to 
use DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST to extract the name of the domain if the 
SERVER_NAME environment variable isn't set.  I would have assumed they 
would/shoud have used DEFAULT_URL_HOST instead.  At least that's what 
would work in MY case (I _think_, I haven't tried it yet).

Am I missing something?  Is there some other way to obtain the desired 
effect (ie. ONLY e-mails go to DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST, ALL URLs are formed 
using DEFAULT_URL_HOST)?
