Hi Richard, thanks for your answer! I appreciate talking to someone who apparently knows what he is talking about! ;-)

I wish I could rewrite the FAQ - it's just that I simply haven't understood how these parameters are working together... > Have your read the output from $prefix/bin/newlist --help ?

And the important part seems to be the "key in the VIRTUAL_HOSTS mapping"-thingy... What mailman does in my case is that it uses www.mydom.ain for both the web interface and the email interface, although I use the settings described below... > > Look here: > > > > DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'mailhost.name' > > DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'my.webhost.name' > > DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'https://%s/mailman/' > > VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear() > > add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST) > > > > Now tell my why this doesn't do the trick?!

With the above settings I do a bin/newlist [EMAIL PROTECTED] And then it will use the mailhost.name in the webhost-corner! It works fine as long as I simply say bin/newlist test - without the mailhost.name thing... But after all there are more virtual hosts on my machine... Once again: Thanks for your ongoing help.
