mailman uses old server name

[bobbybobbertson]

I rent my server from rackshack. When you rent the server from Rackshack it comes pre-configured with the hostname "plain.rackshack.net".

I have since changed this hostname in WHM to my current domain for the server. However, when mailman creates a new mailing list it sends out the confirmation email (with links to the admin page) with links to the old hostname.

Is there a way to tell mailman that the the server name is now different? It doesn't seem to have been changed.

i solved the problem by running /scripts/reinstallmailman

Didn't that delete the lists that were on the machine, though?

probably... I'm lucky. its a new server and I don't have any lists yet.

That is not a good fix for users with the same problem, that have active lists for a hostname that has changed (like me!)

Can anyone verify that this command:

1. works
2. overwrites the current lists?

This does not delete current lists.

Even if it did just backup the lists directory.

THere is also a config file for mailman with the servername, I forgot the exact location, does anyone know where that is?

Look in /var/named and if there is a zone in there from the old server name delete it and it will fix this.
