[BLU/Officers] Fwd: Re: wind mailing list - change in the list name in email headers

[gaf.linux at gmail.com (Jerry Feldman)]

The URL host should be lists.blu.org. It does not matter that much with
blu.org, but it does make a difference for the virtual hosts, such as
vhfcn.org.
The URL Host is currently set to lists.blu.org. When I first copied the
lists over, I was not able to access the lists web pages especially on the
virtual lists. That is currently fixed. All lists can now be accesses as:
lists.dom.ain/mailman/listinfo/<listname>.  When I moved the lists over from
Pegasus, there were some issues. Apperently the installation of mailman on
Fedora 13 has some differences from Pegasus even though it was the same
mailman version. These have been resolved.
Some of the issues were related to DNS settings on the virtual hosts that
had nothing to do with wind.
The bottom line is to access the wind admin pages use
http://lists.blu.org/mailman/admin/wind, to access the listinfo pages, use
http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/wind.

As I mentioned, I restored the list from the pickle files directly from the
Pegasus drives.
