As I said later, that is a special name set up by the ISP for just this type situation. >Certainly, the name dap002.bellsouth.net does not exist in the DNS. >If this is what your system is trying to use to identify itself to >the outside world, that would be a problem. Only mailman is trying to use that name. >I suspect that the problem you're having may be a hostname or MTA >misconfiguration issue, which Mailman is not involved in, and which >cannot be fixed within Mailman. If that we the case, why is it only mailman sending mail that is effected? As I demonstrated, when using the 'mail' command, everything is fine. >Try typing the command "hostname" at the command-line prompt on the >machine.
