This message should have gone to the ezmlm mailing list, as the archive has
a few (hard-to-find) messages in the archive about it.

I'm running ezmlm-0.53 with ezmlm-idx-3.11
In ezmlm-manage.c, at line 495, there are two lines:
if (inhost.len != str_len(host)) die_badaddr();
if (case_diffb(inhost.s,inhost.len,host)) die_badaddr();
which you just need to enclose within comments, recompile ezmlm, and copy
the new ezmlm-manage over the old one. In addition to this, you need to
edit the editor file in the mailing list's home directory and add a "-T" to
ezmlm-reject. The -T flag lets the list distribute messages even if the
list's name isn't in To: or Cc:. Unfortunately, this also opens your list
up to spamming...

i created a test list using the old domain, subscribed myself, and sent
mail to it using the new address and old address. When it worked without
errors, I just put the same changes into the working list.
>3) do I need to install ezmlm-idx ?
no. just need to recompile ezmlm-manage and copy it to its current location.

I spent at least 30 minutes looking through the ezmlm list archive before I
found the solution. There was only one message which said that
ezmlm-manage.c was the file to modify. Most others just said "disable the
host-checking". There were also messages that the next version of ezmlm-idx
or ezmlm (can't remember which) would let you ignore hosts, but the new
versions of either of those isn't out yet, so that didn't help me much.
