Richard, You have been very helpful in offering suggestions to fix my problem. Yet, I still can't seem to understand how to correct the situation where my email address is reported as being [EMAIL PROTECTED] (instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED]) on the page located at http://www.usmstudent.com/mailman/listinfo. I am running version 2.1.2 on FreeBSD. I have read and re-read your email and the notes in the Defaults.py file. Could help me a little further?
Here is an excerpt from my current mm_cfg.py file. # Site-specific settings DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'usmstudent.com' DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'http://www.usmstudent.com/mailman/' PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL = '/pipermail' PRIVATE_ARCHIVE_URL = '/mailman/private' add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST) Thanks for all of your help.
