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

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

In mailman there is the concept of URL host and mail host.
In trying to fix things I used fix_url to change from pegasus to
cheyenne, and some of the lists started to use cheyenne in the header.
The default mailhost is <list>@blu.org. Check in the general options:
Host name this list prefers for email. Again, when Pegasus went down
John restored the list from a May 27th member list that had no settings.
When I got back this weekend I restored the lists back to when Pegasus
went down including all settings and passwords.
