[Mailman-Users] fun with hostnames.

[Pennington, John]

Hi All,

 

 

We are trying to configure a setup that would set the list server
addresses to be a different hostname than the  URL  host and admin pages
use.  

 

For example if we had a machine named foo.interest.com  with a DNS alias
for fooalias.interest.com ,  we want our admin pages look to like this.

 

http://foo.interest.com/mailman/listinfo/mailinglist

 

But we want users to send email to:

 

mailinglist at fooalias.interest.com
<mailto:mailinglist at newfoo.interest.com> 

 

 

Does anyone know how to do this?

 

 

I tried  to configure  mm_cfg.py like the following:

 

DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'fooalias.interest.com'

DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'foo.interest.com'

 

And it is mostly working. However the machine is still accepting mail
from people who send to:

 

mailinglist at foo.interest.com and we want it to only accept mail sent to
mailinglist at fooalias.interest.com

 

 

Does anyone have an idea how to make this happen?

 

Thanks a bunch

 

John
