Re: [cobalt-users] majordomo sender correction.



In your majordomo.cf file (usually found at /usr/local/majordomo/majordomo.cf) you need to set $ whereami to the name of your domain.

For example, mine is:

$whereami = "email-lists.com";

But then all your lists will come from that domain name.

If this is NOT what you want, then you should carefully read the stuff at <http://www.sendmail.org/virtual-hosting.html> for sendmail, and the stuff at <http://www.greatcircle.com/majordomo/FAQ.html#3.12> for majordomo.

I just spent a week learning the intricacies of this; we offer personalized-domain email-lists (hosted by majordomo) as one of our services.

Our solution was to package a complete new copy of majordomo, carefully customized, for every domain for which we host. We use a separate /etc/aliases.majord.domainname file for each domain (which requires a change to /etc/sendmail.cf), and also create a special section at the bottom of /etc/virtusertable for each domain.

I am offering custom installations as a service; call or write me if you'd like. I will be creating a package with customization scripts at some point, that has to take a back burner to some more pressing projects for now.

can someone tell me exactly which file I should touch to fix following
problem?

I have created a test user list. and name it "support"
It is from domain name : mydesigners.com

If I send an email to this list, I get an email with
sender : mail_list-site8@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"host.myservername.com" is just a machine name

Now, I want to see this sender as : support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I have looked at some majordomo files like
    aliases.majordomo
    majordomo.cf
    majordomo.pl

but before I do anything,  I want to hear from the professionals.
Please someone help.
