Hi Richard,

Thanks for the tip it works great!

When receiving mail from the lists,why does the To: header reflect the real host name e.g. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED],
instead of To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Where lists is the hostname i want to appear. Is it sendmail's masquerading option
or mailman's?

If you have change the value of DEFAULT_HOST_NAME in
$prefix/Mailman/mm_cfg.py then you will also need to add the following line
to it AFTER the assignment redefining DEFAULT_HOST_NAME:

MAILMAN_OWNER = 'mailman-owner@%s' % DEFAULT_HOST_NAME

If you do not, then MAILMAN_OWNER will pick up the 'old' value of
DEFAULT_HOST_NAME from $prefix/Mailman/Defaults.py rather than the 'new'
value you have assigned in $prefix/Mailman/mm_cfg.py.
