Hi all,

I am new to the Mailman. I've recently configured a new Debian server using
Mailman (ver 2.0.11) and I have just one problem that I cannot resolve. It
is the %(confirmurl)s variable found in the verify.txt file. When an email
is sent out to verify subscription to a list, the email looks like this:

#######################


Mailing list subscription confirmation notice for mailing list Testone

We have received a request from 192.168.2.254 for subscription of your
email address, "dsampson01 at nospam.cox.net", to the
testone at nospam.lists.dawnsign.com
mailing list. To confirm that you want to be added to this mailing
list, simply reply to this message, keeping the Subject: header
intact. Or visit this web page:

%(confirmurl)s
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Or include the following line -- and only the following line -- in a
message to testone-request at nospam.lists.dawnsign.com:

confirm 800039

Note that simply sending a `reply' to this message should work from
most mail readers, since that usually leaves the Subject: line in the
right form (additional "Re:" text in the Subject: is okay).

If you do not wish to be subscribed to this list, please simply
disregard this message. If you think you are being maliciously
subscribed to the list, or have any other questions, send them to
testone-admin at nospam.lists.dawnsign.com.

How do I fix so an actual URL appears instead of the %(confirmurl)s variable
name?

In addition, how do I replace the actual IP address of 192.168.2.254 (which
is the IP address of the internal firewall NIC) with the correct external IP
address on our firewall?
