I have moved a few lists from Majordomo to Mailman. The Mailman
machine is a different machine that the Majordomo machine. So,
list at example.com
became
list at mailman.example.com
and I added an entry to the alias file on the Majordomo machine
redirecting mail. Someone sent mail to
list at example.com
and the mail was received by Mailman but held for approval because
the list name was not in the "To:" or "Cc:" lines. I had to change the
require_explicit_destination
parm from "True" to "False" to get around this. Once all of the
posters use the new list address, I can remove the alias and change
this parm back to "True".
