This might be what your looking for. Manny

For a 550.

For new mailing lists:
shell in
su
pico /etc/mail/aliases.majordomo
 ... and remove www. in the reply email address for the sites and mailing
lists.
type "newaliases" for sendmail to see the new alias that you made and then
restart sendmail.
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail restart

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?
