It looks like you've found answers to most of your questions, but to summarize, assuming you have the requisite add_virtualhost() directives, when creating a list from the web, it gets created in the domain of the url used to access the create page. When creating a list via newlist, there are a couple of ways to specify other than DEFAULT_(URL|EMAIL)_host for the list domain. See below. The domain of an existing list or lists can be changed by running fix_url under withlist. The -u/--urlhost and -e/--emailhost options are relatively recent additions to newlist. The existing interactive dialog wasn't changed when these were added for backwards compatibility reasons. In the past, and still, you can specify the domain for a list by specifying the listname as listn...@web_host. This is the same as specifying the list name as LISTNAME together with the --urlhost=WEB_HOST option. Note that this can be confusing because listn...@web_host is not necessarily the list posting address which is listn...@email_host. This is explained in the help for newlist. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
