Mailing List Domain Creation

[AplosMedia]

Every time I create a mailinglist, it seems to go to

list-name@example.com

I don't want that, and would rather have the list placed somewhere like

list-name@lists.example.com

Is this possible? I've been searching the forums and documentation for a while now and don't see this as a posibility.

I have not done this myself, but according to the mailman install docs at:

http://mailman.sourceforge.net/mailman-install/node7.html

you can edit

/var/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py

Specifically:

DEFAULT_URL_HOST
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST

Though what AplosMedia says is correct, I think there is a different way to do it that will keep things 'Plesk happy'.

If you look at the mm_cfg.py file (the path is /var/mailman/Mailman on Redhat) you should see a line like this for each domain that has a mailing list:

add_virtualhost('lists.DOMAIN')

Find the line for the mailing list in question and make it look like this:

add_virtualhost('lists.DOMAIN','lists.DOMAIN')

The 2nd entry changes the DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST variable for that list only. The default is just DOMAIN as you have already noticed.

Hope that helps.
