Unfortunately, that's not really possible. People who do not have access to your system can only match symptoms to cases they've seen in the past. This particular symptom is universal for this kind of case: if *nothing* was working, you wouldn't be posting here at this point. So it tells us nothing we didn't already know. As for "worked, broke, restored from backup, some stuff still doesn't work", the most common cause for that in my experience is that the configuration changed between backup and the initial breakdown. Then this change won't be reflected in the restore. You say "this hostname only shows up with mailman", do you run your own MTA, or do you ship everything off to bellsouth which actually runs the MTA? Mailman is not really an MTA, but it does have to be quite a bit smarter than your typical MUA, so it may be that Mailman is picking up the hostname from /etc/hostname or from the DNS, whereas other programs are authenticating in some other way and bellsouth's MTA is happy with them but not with Mailman. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
