[Mailman-Users] problem with mailing lists general contact address

All,

I am using mailman as installed and administered by a web host in 
vancouver, webserve.ca.

When I set up a mailing list, the general contact address on the 
mail.mail.domainname.ca/mailman/listinfo page is listed as 
mailman at mail.domainname.ca, rather than mailman at domainname.ca.

When I send a test email to mailman at mail.domainname.ca I get a bounce 
back with this message:

This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.

Delivery to the following recipients failed.

mailman at mail.domainname


When I send a test email to mailman at domainname.ca I get a bounce back 
with this message:

You are not allowed to post to this mailing list, and your message has
been automatically rejected.  If you think that your messages are
being rejected in error, contact the mailing list owner at mailman-owner at ns38.servepower.com.


I presume this is a configuration issue. Unfortunately I do not have 
access on the configuration server, and the webserve.ca support people 
seem to be at a loss as to what to do.

Judging from the fact that python's own mail list page uses 
mailman at python.org, I presume that the issue is faulty configuration of 
the general list contact address in the configuration file.

Could someone explain to me how this can be fixed, so that I can pass it on?

Thanks much,

- Henrik
