What version of Mailman are you using and what is your MTA. Version
2.1.x has much better virtual host control.
Also, Postfix has much better virtual host control than sendmail.

Greetings,
Our organisation is migrating to Mailman from various aliases
and majordomo lists.
In an effort to ease management, I would like to set up lists
for each office and an overall list (umbrella list) to include
all the office lists. This will allow HR to easily mail the
entire company.
Hello,
I am new to the list, so if I'm asking something stupid, slap me in my

Today I installed mailman on my Debian (Sendmail 8.12.) using apt-get.
Everything went well. Then I created a list and configured the aliases
file like said by mailman.
Again, everything great until I start

I think there is some confusion here about what is meant by VERP'ed address.
In MM 2.0.x outgoing mail from lists came from the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] alias.
With MM 2.1 outgoing mail from lists normally comes from the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] alias.
This isn't VERP'ed mail. It is just a change in or
It seems like it would be nice to setup a method of confirmation for

Well we've entered the philosophical realm here...
I agree 100% with you. The Unix way is to give the power to the user

Hello all
Before re-inventing the wheel has anyone created any general reporting

My archive searches have been a bit unclear on this. Using Mailman
version 2.0.11, can I delete all members of a list without having
notification sent to them? One of our hosted lists has ~5500 members, and
the list admin needs to upload a whole new, audited list of addresses.

The whole thing is done through the web interface.

The fact that you confused "telnet 80" with "telnet " says
volumes about your sysadmin skills. :)
