This may be an issue I need to post to a sendmail list... but I'll start
here.

I have configured mailman and everything is up and working
fantastically... with one issue:

Mails sent to the list appear with the wrong hostname in the TO: field
of the email.

Let's call the host's primary DNS entry "uglyhostname" and we'll call
the desired hostname alias for mailman "lists".

A user can send mail to "lists.internal.domain.com" and it gets to the
host and is processed properly by the aliases and mailman and delivered
to the list.   However, users viewing the message see:

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have sendmail configured to masquerade as follows:
DMlists.internal.domain.com

And I've even changed the hostname on the server using
/etc/sysconfig/network
HOSTNAME=lists.internal.domain.com

Here's a snip from my mm_cfg:
--8<--
DEFAULT_URL_HOST   = 'lists.internal.domain.com'
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'lists.internal.domain.com'

# Because we've overriden the virtual hosts above add_virtualhost
# MUST be called after they have been defined.
VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()
-->8--

Any ideas on how I can ensure that uglyhostname is not included in my
lists mails?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Mike
