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)
You should be saying _just_ this in your mm_cfg.py:
# Site-specific settings DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'usmstudent.com' DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'www.usmstudent.com' VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear() add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)
followed by more add_virtualhost(URL_FQDN, EMAIL_FQDN) calls for any other virtual hosts you want to support with the system.
Having restarted mailmanctl you should now run the bin/withlist script fix_url.py from the command line to set the web_page_url and stuff for each of your lists. Without this last step, whatever you do to mm_cfg.py will not be propagated to any existing lists.
If you just run bin/fix_url.py from the command line it prints out its usage for you.
You will probably want to run fix_url without any --urlhost option unless you have multiple virtual hosts specified in mm_cfg.py
By the look of it you do not need to change the default PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL and if you do need to change it then model it on the default defined in $prefix/Mailman/Defaults.py, which is:
PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL = 'http://%(hostname)s/pipermail/%(listname)s'
As you can see you have left some parts out.
If you check the NEWS file in the MM 2.1.2 source code distribution you will find that the semantics of PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL configuration variable was changed in MM 2.1.x and the PRIVATE_ARCHIVE_URL configuration variable was removed from MM 2.1.x
Come back if you are still having a problem.
Richard
Thanks for all of your help.
Darren

Thanks for the tip. But, I'm sorry. I don't see a reference to the part I'm having trouble with. On my "welcome page", there is a link that users with questions should use. Mine reports [EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't see how to get the "www" out of it. And, (while I may be blind) I don't see a reference to it on the FAQ.
Maybe I misunderstood your problem but I will plow on with further explanation which you can ignore if it is not relevant to you.
Two list attributes affect what is displayed in the way of URLs and email addresses for any given list; the 'host_name' and 'web_page_url' attributes.
These list attributes are set, when the list is created, from defaults acquired from $prefix/Mailman/Defaults.py which may have been over-ridden by values in $prefix/Mailman/mm_cfg.py.
The FAQ page I cited deals with changing the defaults, which will affect al new lists subsequently created, and having those revised values propagated to modify existing lists' attributes.
You do not say what version of Mailman you are running.
I think the relevant section on the referenced FAQ page, which applies
to MM 2.1.x, is the explanation under the heading 'Changing hostnames'.
Based on your post you would want to add something like this to your $prefix/Mailman/mm_cfg.py to get the right values for new lists:
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'www.umstudent.com' DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'umstudent.com' VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear() add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)
and then use $prefix/bin/fix_url to update your existing lists.
You can change the email host for an existing list via the admin web GUI by changing the following list attribute:
'Host name this list prefers for email' - host_name
but beware of changing this for a list without getting the information in mm_cfg.py correct also.
If you are running MM 2.0.13 add something like this to your $prefix/Mailman/mm_cfg.py to get the right values for new lists:
DEFAULT_HOST_NAME = 'umstudent.com' DEFAULT_URL = 'http://www.umstudent.com/mailman/'
and you can update existing lists from their admin web GUI by changing the following list attributes:
'Host name this list prefers.' - host_name
'Base URL for Mailman web interface ...' - web_page_url
but be careful in changing the $prefix/Mailman/ attribute. Get that wrong and further access to the web admin GUI for the list may become problematic; which is why it was removed from the web admin GUI in MM 2.1.x

I have Mailman running on a FreeBSD box. On the "welcome" pageCheck the FAQ Luke, check the FAQ:
(http://www.usmstudent.com/mailman/listinfo/) the email address it
points
users to who have "questions or comments" is wrong. It includes a
"www." in
the domain. I can not figure out where to change this. I did find a
file
that I can edit by hand. But, I don't think hacking it is the
answer.
So, can anyone tell me what the appropriate way change this to take the "www." out of the email address would be?
