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

[abreauj at gmail.com (John Abreau)]

When I created the lists on cheyenne, I explicitly set both the
mailhost and urlhost for all lists to "blu.org". So there should
have been no instance of "pegasus.blu.org" in any of the lists.

One thing I couldn't find a setting for was for publishing the lists.
When I set them up, all lists were displayed at the url
"http://blu.org/mailman/listinfo";, but none of them were displayed
at the url "http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo";. When I check this now,
they're displayed up at both urls. They *don't* get displayed at
"http://cheyenne.blu.org/mailman/listinfo";, so it's not that they're
being displayed regardless of the fqdn. How do you enable
lists to be displayed at multiple fqdn's?
