FAQ
Hey, I finally got my mailman to work after I set up a subdomain strictly to
carry the mail load of an off-server domain. Now I have a new problem -
since I needed my List address to be "@example.org" I set it up that way,
but the real address where the list can be accessed is
mx.example.com(because of the subdomain issue and MX records) - so all
of the links in the
footer and even the links in the admin panel are wrong. Is there somewhere
in the general options page to change this or do I have to do it in SSH?
Any help is appreciated.

    If it's only the email domain that's wrong, you can change the
    host_name attribute on the General Options page.

    If web URLs are also wrong, you need to make sure that things like
    DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST, DEFAULT_URL_HOST and perhaps DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN
    are set correctly and then run fix_url.

    See the FAQs at <http://wiki.list.org/x/gIA9> and
    <http://wiki.list.org/x/mIA9> for starters.

    thanks, where do I set DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST, DEFAULT_URL_HOST and perhaps
    DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN?

    damn, I have a reseller account and my host doesn't allow me to change those
    files. I may have a workaround though - I think I can alter my DNS settings
    to point any URL requests to the correct URL. Think that'd work?

    Possibly, but perhaps a better solution would be to just create a new
    list in the appropriate domain, e.g. a subdomain of your primary
    domain.

    Some of this is probably limited by the way cPanel (I think you said
    this was cPanel in an earlier thread) sets up lists with the web and
    email domains of the list being always the same.
