Some clarification below:

Hello All,
this has been a problem since forever, but for the, oh, 12 to 15 years I've
been using mailman, heretofore I've had list members who were competent
enough to tell them, "where you see this system name, replace it with this
other one and it works fine." Now, that's not the case with a new group of
list users. (And yes, I've tried in the past to fix this, but never found a
solution and it wasn't all that vital.)
My scenario is simple enough; the mail server that runs mailman is on an
internal, private network behind a firewall and has no direct external
access. Mail gets through via a firewall / gateway machine, and web access to
the web interface is done via "pipermail" interface through the web server.
It all works except that the automated emails sent for things like bounces,
initial welcome, password reminders and things like that ALWAYS have the
internal system name for the URLs instead of the external one.
I've tried to figure out how to modify the templates to get it to work
correctly, all to many wasted hours of frustration, and of course I've tried
to look it up online. I can't find any information about what substutitions
are available within the various templates, though I found a conversation
where someone some 12 to 15 years ago said it was on their to-do list. I've
been tempted to just hard-code, but there are several problems with that,
such as that there are different list names that have to get inserted, or
different usernames. And even if I could hard-code the system name / domain
name part, I'd prefer to have the URL be unique for the particular community
the list is serving - simply because having to explain a different domain
name is just more wasted time. Plus, it would be easier to remember for
people - what's that link for? OH, I remember!
Any help GRATEFULLY appreciated.
FWIW, I'm running mailman-2.1.18.1-3.fc21.x86_64 which I think is the
youngest version available for FC21.
Thanks,

OF COURSE, I've found section 4.29 of the FAQ (which can be found here:
https://wiki.list.org/DOC/4.29%20Where%20can%20I%20change%20a%20list%20or%20the%20default%20URL%20used%20for%20the%20web%20interface%3F
)
...The problem is I don't understand it. In particular:
"and some more add_virtualhost(URL_FQDN, EMAIL_FQDN) if you are using
virtual hosts."
Am I supposed to just add in all my virtual hosts here like this, and, if
so, how on earth is the correct one distinguished per list?
Thanks,
R
