In Defaults.py, we have DEFAULT_HOST_NAME = 'localhost.localdomain' MAILMAN_OWNER = 'mailman-owner@%s' % DEFAULT_HOST_NAME Then in mm_cfg.py, the user is expected to override DEFAULT_HOST_NAME with DEFAULT_HOST_NAME = 'mailserver.example.com' but MAILMAN_OWNER had already been interpolated with 'localhost.localdomain' -- meaning, for example, that when the password reminders go out, they go out with If you have questions, problems, comments, etc, send them to mailman-owner. Thanks! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ even though DEFAULT_HOST_NAME has been set Therefore, in the mm_cfg.py we ship, we should include both a sample setting of DEFAULT_HOST_NAME, and then AFTER THAT LINE, we should also copy in the MAILMAN_OWNER = 'mailman-owner@%s' % DEFAULT_HOST_NAME line from Defaults.py so that MAILMAN_OWNER gets re-interpolated with the newly, correctly-set DEFAULT_HOST_NAME While it is possible for users to track this bug down and fix it (I did...) it is a pain and the pain would be entirely removed by this simple action.
Fixing for 2.0.9-1. Thanks!
