RE: [cobalt-users] Open Web Mail and RAQ Mailing list problem

["J.F. Charland" <jfcharland@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Total SupportThanks Manny, but the problem is not the added hostname (www)
in e-mail. It is in mailing lists.

The procedure I described solved the "www" issues in people's e-mail
addresses perfectly but it left mailing lists with the full hostname in the
lists' e-mail address. When a member sends e-mail to the list, it will not
allow the posting because the users's e-mail doesn't contain "www" in his
address.

Am I being clear? It's a little difficult to describe!  Here's the subject
line of the error message I get back when posting to
testlist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx using the OpenWebMail account jfc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
(Note that the host on the server is actually called "mail.totalsupport.ca"
and not "www.totalsupport.ca".

BOUNCE testlist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:    Non-member submission from ["J.F.
Charland" <jfc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The list address should really be testlist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx instead of
testlist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx OR it should accept submissions from
jfc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx instead of jfc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Any help in getting this to work without having to manually type the address
in would be great.

Thanks,
JF

 Virtual Domains on RAQ -How to set up
2002-04-12 09:46
There have been a few posts recently about handling multiple domains on RAQ
and getting default emails to lose the http://www. Here is how to do it.

Use latest current relase of OWM (now available as a pkg)

in openwebmail.conf set allowed domains as follows:
allowed_serverdomain mydomain.com, yourdomain.com (put here a list of each
virtual domain that you allow to use OWM remembering to prefix with www

for each domain create a copy of openwebmail.conf in
'/home/openwebmail/cgi-bin/openwebmail/etc/sites.conf' with the file name
set the same as your virtual domain (example mydomain.com prefixed with www)

in each of these files, add or edit line:
domainnames mydomain.com (do not use www)

Set up in this way, only allowed_serverdomains can use webmail and default
users mail on first use will become user@xxxxxxxxxxxx

I have this setup and it works correctly

There is no need to do any editing of the virtual user table and I would
advise against this unless you are careful becasue it can screw up other
parts of sendmail.

Hope this helps.

Total SupportI seem to be a question machine today ...  :)    I've searched
through the list archives but can't find a similar problem like this one
being experienced by anyone ...

When I installed OpenWebMail on my RAQ XTR, I had to add each virtual server
domain to the openwebmail conf under "allowed_serverdomain" and created a
sites.conf file named after the virtual server domain (www.domain.com).

This solved the problem of having users' e-mail addresses listed as
user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx BUT seems to have caused a problem with mailing lists,
since the lists continue to be named in the format listname@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
instead of listname@xxxxxxxxxxx

The problem is that list e-mail address arrives properly at the server, but
does not allow the subscribed user to post to the list because the sending
e-mail address doesn't match the list address on the
server(user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx).

Anyone have work-around?
