Configuring host name in mailman

I'm trying to reconfigure the DEFAULTEMAILHOST and DEFAULTURLHOST in my mm_cfg.py and default.py files in Mailman (I'm repurposing my server to be a dedicated mail server, have another one for web services), but as soon as I restart Mailman the configurations revert to the previous settings.
Where is Mailman drawing this old data from so that I can change it permanently?
TIA,
Marshall

Yes, that was a bit strange taking the time to post that you'd solved it but not posting the solution
I found that I had to do two things. The first was remove mm_cfg.pyc which is a compiled version of mm_cfg.py. That forces python to recompile the file and creates a new mm_cfg.pyc with the values you specific in mm_cfg.py.
Then, as is 'half pointed out' in Defaults.py to change the already generated html for each list's interface you have to run:
$cd /usr/share/mailman/bin
$sudo ./withlist -l -r fix_url <listname>
(replacing <listname> with the name of each of your lists).
Once I did those two things the urls in the HTML interface changed. I did this to move the mailman interface to port 443, because I am using a ReverseProxy on the main site. I tried ProxyPass /mailman/ ! to ensure that the mailman URLs didn't get passed to the Proxy, but that was re-written by Server Admin when I changed the Proxy configuration. So I created a separate site on <servername:443> to handle Mailman.
I had to add
DEFAULTURLPATTERN = 'https://%s/mailman/'
PUBLICARCHIVEURL = 'https://%(hostname)s/pipermail/%(listname)s'
to mm_cfg.py to ensure that it used port 443.

Host Name Configuration for Ironport

Hi,
I want to configure one host name with two ipaddress.
Which record we can create???
If both the IP's in Domain, we can achieve this???
Thanks in advance
Regards, Hari Prasad.D

Hi Hari,
If we creat CNAME record, we can map multiple FQDNs to single IP address.
If we want to map multiple IP addresses to single FQDN, just create two A records with same name, then point them to different IP addresses.
Best Regards.

Configure Mail to use host name

Hi,
I'm trying to configure Mail on a Mac Mini Server. My problem is that I can't get the from email address to show correctly. The host name is demo.company.com, however email arrives with appleserver2.local (domain name). I've setup two accounts - administrator and user. When I send email from administrator to user it shows as coming form [email protected] - what I want it to show is [email protected]?
I found an article (http://serverfault.com/questions/55342/change-email-domain-os-x-server) which seemed to ask the same question. The accepted answer made some changes to the main.cf file:
myorigin = $mydomain
mydestination = $myhostname localhost.$mydomain localhost $mydomain
After I made the changes I restarted the Mail service, but it didn't solve my problem. I even rebooted the server but no change.
Also, am I correct in thinking that a user's email address is configured using the Workgroup Manager under the Info tab?
Mark

I cannot recommend this, as I am not sure all the intergrations with other apps and databases would work properly, but see:
http://hintsforums.macworld.com/showthread.php?t=108443
Are you sure this is worth it? My Mail folder is a long term archive, and I don't delete many messages. Yet it is less than 20 GB. Sounds like other apps and databases will overtake your space savings quickly.

Need list of places where the portal configures the exchange host name

Hello,
Our exchange server is changing it's host name.
Can anyone please give me a list of <b>detailed places</b> at the portal, admin tool and config tool where I should apply this change?
Regards,
Roy

it is stored as encrypted nameNo it isn't. It is stored in a format defined in this case by Windows. There is no encryption here.
I want to know the list of unicode characters which are affecting the file namingIt would be considerably more sensible to find out the characters that are legal in filenames. There are a lot fewer of those ;-)
Personally I just use the ASCII characters excluding & and /.

Lists: domain name host name?

In the 'General' tab of the Mail service window in Server Admin I've got the following:
Domain name: subdomain.mydomain.com
Host name: mail.mydomain.com
So my e-mail addresses like [email protected] work fine. But what's weird is that when I'm creating mailing lists , the internal users get added to it like this: [email protected]!? Why is it that? Why don't they get added with [email protected]?
Because the problem is if they send something to the list, it gets denied because the mailing list considers them non-members!
Any ideas what the problem could be and how to correct that?
Thanks.

All,
From the Mail Service PDF Manual;
"Adding a Subscriber to an Existing List
This is the same procedure as adding a user to a newly created list.
To add a subscriber to an existing list:
1 In Server Admin, select Mail in the Computer & Services list.
2 Click Settings.
3 Select the Lists tab.
4 Select the List to which you want to add a subscriber.
5 Click the Add button under the Members pane.
6 Enter the recipient’s email address.
The email address must match the return address of the recipient to post messages
without administrator approval.
If a user was added via the “Users and Groups” button, the email address in the list will
be in the form of “[email protected]”. If necessary, change the email address in
the mailing lists panel of Server Admin to match the return address used by the client.
7 Assign the subscriber privileges.
8 Click OK."
In other words, click in the user's email field and edit the address to suit - by default Mailman treats the list as belonging to the machine's host name, not to the email domain/sub-domain, which is the most logical since you could have multiple domains/sub-domains configured.

How can I create a host name site collection when I have a 443 web application already created for App model?

Hi all,
I have a 2013 farm set up with the App model
1 web application for path based site collection using host name
1 web application with SSL (no host name)
1 web application for mysite
My business request is that I need to migrate SSL enabled 2007 content to this farm and use host name site collections. I tried to create one more web application for this without any luck (the 443 IIS folder is already used by another web application).
I thought I bind the previous 443 web application with another IP address should be fine. Seems like the IIS site is taken (https://server name:443) so it will not let me create one more. How can I solve this problem so I can create the web application
to host those host name site collections? Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Sally

Hi Trevor,
Thanks again for your quick reply. I try the option 2 right after your post. I use my front end server name for public URL (https://WFEName:443) and it fails again. The error message is:
The directory C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\443 is already being used by another IIS Web Site. Choose a different root directory for your new Web application.
After reading more, I saw mix Hosted Name Site collection and Path-based site collection aren't recommended. Unfortunately I already have Path-based site collection created with App model web application
(the web application without host name) in my farm. In my Option 2, that web application without host name is used for App routing. This takes the root folder 443 which will not allow any other web application to use the same name again.
Does that mean we can't create Host Named Site collection in the same farm? Is there any configuration I need to check?
Thanks again.
Sally

Domain name/"primary DNS" name/mail host name/mail server name/mx name

Hi,
I have registered my domain name (N.com) with an external dns server and created an MX record (mail.N.com) for it as well. My server sits behind a router and internet traffic is port(80)-forwarded to my server's fixed internal ip address (I can access my webpages from the internet just fine). When I initially setup the server I was asked to give it a "primary DNS name." I naturally assumed that N.com was supposed to be entered here, but that just caused all kinds of problems (though I still do not understand why). So I reinstalled and currently have server.N.com as the primary DNS name of the server (although it shows up in Server Admin and Workgroup Manager as server.local--why is that?)
I have had no luck getting any email from the internet with the default settings in mail services (domain name of N.com and host name of server.N.com). Having no luck with the defaults, I assumed that maybe I needed to change the host name to "mail.N.com" so that it matched the MX record. I also changed the user preferences in Workgroup Manager to receive mail from mail.N.com--but still no luck. Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong and how come none of the Mail Service literature mentions anything about what a mail "host name" is supposed to be? Is it supposed to be the same as the "Mail Server" name that Workgroup Manager asks each user for? and is it the same as the MX record name?
I am just needing some help to connect all these variously named, but undefined, dots.
Also, how come I can access webmail from the internet using www.N.com/webmail but can't do it from any computers within my physical network (I have to use IPaddress/webmail or server.local/webmail)?
Also, should my user email addresses be [email protected] or [email protected] (which is the current default)?
Thanks in advance and good luck!
John

I had been told by a friend that ... regular email coming in from the internet would go through port 80
Unfortunately you were misinformed.
My MX record needs the extra subname (such as "mail") in front of the domain name, right?
Not at all. A MX record for 'N.com' is entirely valid (expected, in fact).
An MX record tells remote mail servers where to send mail for any domain/subdomain. If you think about it, let's say you worked for Apple and you wanted people to be able to send email to [email protected], well then you need an MX record for 'apple.com'.
You can see if you dig MX apple.com that they actually have 9 MX records, but the point still stands.
Now, you might also have MX records for subdomains so that you can have [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc. Each of these subdomains would need a separate MX record.
So, in general, for any set of email addresses @[anything.]domain.com you have a MX record telling remote mail servers where to send that mail.
Of course the MX record name is mail.N.com, but I think you are implying that the in the Mail settings of Server Admin where it asks for domain name all I need to put there is the N.com, right?
What I mean is that you need to set the domain name to whatever domain name you expect to receive mail at.
If you want users to have email addresses in the form of [email protected], then you enter 'N.com'.
If you want users to have email addresses in the form of [email protected] then you enter 'mail.N.com'.
If you want both forms, enter one in the main domain and add the other(s) in the Advanced -> Hosting -> Local Host Aliases section.
Is there anything in the Mail settings that needs to have the full MX record name (mail.N.com)?
Yes. Either the 'domain name' or the 'Local Host Aliases' needs to contain the same thing as your MX record. That's because the MX record tells remote servers to send mail to this machine, but the machine won't accept the mail unless it is configured to do so.
What is the "host name" supposed to be?
This should be the name that remote servers see when this machine tries to send outgoing mail.
Ideally this should match the reverse DNS of your IP address, that way when it connects to a remote server it says "Hi, I'm $hostname" and the remote server can lookup the machine's IP address and see the same result. This will reduce the problem of remote servers thinking you're sending them spam.
If you only have a single IP address then this probably needs to be something like 'N.com'. If you don't have control over your reverse DNS then you're going to run into a problem.
Also in the user accounts (in Workgroup Manager) what should the "mail server name" be? Is it the host name or the domain name?
Off hand, I don't know.
Also, why are all the default user email addresses [email protected] (the name I gave the server at setup)? Why doesn't the user accounts create [email protected] as the default address?
Presumably because the mail server says it is 'server.N.com' and therefore any accounts on that machine would be [email protected]. Changing the domain name (as above) should fix that.

Web Dynpro Application URL Host Name Not Correct

Hello,
I am developing a web dynpro application in our development system but when I activate the application it gets a URL that points to our test system. When I test the application in HTTP Service (SICF) the URL for the development system is passed to the browser. WHere do you maintain the host that is being used to build the URL for the web dynpro application when it is activated.
Thanks,
Jim N.

Cannot resolve host names on local network

It is a local network with router, few Windows computers with shared drives and one Mac.
Windows shares appear correctly in SHARED and can be used without any problems, like iTunes and iPhoto libraries are on those shared drives and work properly, even if ip address of those computers would change.
BUT - if I am trying to use VNC and connect to hostname:port, it says that server is not specified. If I try to ping hostname it says Unknown host.
At the same time, similar ping from Windows computer work without any problems.
It could be possible that router does not support something standard and communicates with Windows using something windows-specific, but what confuses me is that I can see computer names resolved in the finder already! Also, as I said iTunes and iPhoto can work with shared files on dynamic ip's which would be not possible if host names would be not resolved.
Thanks.

Domain Name Resolution for local IP addresses require a Local DNS server running on your network.
Bonjour names will resolve without a Local DNS server. So this is why iTunes and iPhoto works as they use bonjour technology.
A bonjour name ends in .local so in your macs sharing preferences you give the mac a name of imac its bonjour address is imac.local
Other than that you are best giving your devices fixed IP address and adding there hostnames to your hosts file.
the contents of /etc/hosts on your mac would look like
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost
so at the above that you could add for example
192.168.1.5 mypc
192.168.1.6 myprinter
Then you could ping 192.168.1.5 by
ping mypc
So would have to add these entries to each hosts file on every computer on your lan.
Or you could setup a local dns server and give each computer on your LAN a fully qualified domain name.

Full qualified host name not appearing in url within WSDL generated from PI

Hi
We are on PI711 ( AIX OS ) and are stuck with an issue of the fully qualifed hostname not appearing within WSDL file generated in PI71 for a webservice it exposes using the Integration builder
We changed the host name in exchange profile ( all locations ) from hostname to hostname.companyname.intra and also in the ABAP stack as recommended in all OSS notes.
We use the Integration Directory --> Sender Agreement --> Display WSDL option to generate the WSDL.
Its to be noted that all locations ( including url for WSDL ) have the fully qualified hostname except the url within the WSDL.
Dioes anyone come across this issue/ know which parameters to be updated on the PI server to make the url within the WSDL for the PI webservice to have the fully qualified host name ?

HI Karthik,
As Mentioned by Baskar donu2019t use proposed URL .. while creating WSDL in Id.. but instead provide URL in following format and use it in that place and create WSDL.. details about URL format..
the URL format is fix. and it is simple.
http://host:HTTPPort/XISOAPAdapter/MessagingServlet?channel=party:sendersystem:CC_sender
in above URL provide your sender service component name instead of sender system.
and provide SOAP sender communication channel name in place of CC_sender
provide your PI system host and http name in place of host and https and use this..
for more details about URL..
Propose URL when Configuring Sender SOAP Adpater
soap url
Thanks,
Bhupesh
