[Mailman-Users] Using your domain name

I haven't found this in the FAQ, though I might not be looking hard
enough.  Mostly the info is about how to set up MM on your own domain, but
that's not what I want.

I am using MM that is hosted at my ISP.  But I want to use my personal
domain name for the list addresses.  Getting the domain name addresses to
work is ridiculously easy: I simply set up a forward for the mail.  My
ISP's staff even gave me a list of all the aliases I needed to create.

But all the defaults for MM give the ISP's domain.  The header and footer
and welcome message.  The listinfo page and password reminder page.  The
message headers.  And so forth.

I know I can edit some (all?) of these from the web interface.  And I've
already set the reply-to field to my domain.  But I was wondering if there
was a way to get it to change over all at once.  It would take hours to
change it all manually for 4+ lists.

I don't necessarily want the ISP's addresses to stop working.  I'm happy to
have both.  I just want the list "paperwork" to display my domain when
possible.

There is the host_name setting, but I'm afraid to mess with it unless
someone says it's a good idea.

Thanks,
Cyndi
