Thank you for the reply. My existing list is on the domain ncsi.iisc.ernet.in, which is now defunct. I need to move my list to a new domain, ncsinet.in.
My existing mailman configuration file mm_cfg.py has the following entries: #------------------------------------------------------------- # Default domain for email addresses of newly created MLs DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'localhost.localdomain' #------------------------------------------------------------- # Default host for web interface of newly created MLs DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'localhost.localdomain' #------------------------------------------------------------- Will setting the DEFAULT_URL_HOST=ncsinet.in and fixing the URLs for the list on a new domain with "withlist -l -r fix_url [listname] be sufficient to have the list up and running on the new domain? - Francis ________________________________ From: Odhiambo Washington <odhia...@gmail.com> Sent: 19 November 2023 23:04 To: Francis Jayakanth <fran...@iisc.ac.in> Cc: Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net>; mailman-users@python.org <mailman-users@python.org> Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] Re: Unable to post messages to a Mailman 2 List External Email On Sun, Nov 19, 2023 at 6:36 PM Francis Jayakanth via Mailman-Users <mailman-users@python.org<mailto:mailman-users@python.org>> wrote: Thank you for the reply and suggestions. I thought the problem had something to do with Mailman and, therefore, posted a message seeking help. However, I have now discovered that the problem was not with Mailman but with the domain name of the list. The list used the domain name ncsi.iisc.ernet.in<http://ncsi.iisc.ernet.in>. The postings to the list were made to lis-fo...@ncsi.iisc.ernet.in<mailto:lis-fo...@ncsi.iisc.ernet.in>, which used the institution's email relay server to send the emails to the lis. The network team has informed us that the service of the relay server has been shut down. That explains why postings to the list are not reaching. I now need to migrate the list to a new domain. Please let me know the steps that should be followed to ensure a smooth transition and carry forward the list's archive.

You can use the address rewriting facility of your MTA, but is that even necessary if the old domain name is gone? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 "Oh, the cruft.", egrep -v '^$|^.*#' ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ :-) [How to ask smart questions: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html] ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list -- mailman-users@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to mailman-users-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.python.org/ Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/ https://mail.python.org/archives/list/mailman-users@python.org/ Member address: arch...@jab.org
