The reason the list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx doesn't work is because you have to set up an MX record in your dns that would point www.domain.com to the proper server.  

And you are right that this is a very poor design because nobody wants to have to do that.  The welcome e-mail should send out according to what you set the list domain as.  Right now the welcome e-mail sounds out all the info with host.domain.com (ex: majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) which is pretty lame considering you just want majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxx

Yes, and put and get?

BTW if you use list@xxxxxxxxxx instead of the dim-bulb
list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx, in some instances the reply-to doesn't work as
expected.


I gave a very good friend of mine access to my server....he's adept
enough at mailing lists that he could be called a "wizkid" or guru.

His estimation of the Cobalt Way with majordomo was "ugly, nasty".  When
asked what he would charge to "fix it", he begged off, in the interest of
friendship...and thanked my profusely for giving him root access...as his
tour of the server was enough to convince him NOT to buy a RaQ.

It's beyond comprehension that Sun can allow this stupidity to
continue.....kind of like having a huge festering boil in the middle of
your forehead....and refusing to go to the doctor before trying to get a
date.

Oh, I think you can change the address, but then majordomo is more
broke(and less good) that before.

I can't believe that the folks who designed the Cobalt GUI had much
practical experience with web hosting as practiced in the real world.
