Is it possible to override the domain name displayed in the “From” box when a user is sending email?
Yes. MailMan will automatically guess an email address based on the user’s POP3 username and the server name. In most cases this address is either a lot more specific than necessary (i.e., “mailman@mail.it.Northwest Internet.com” instead of “mailman@Northwest Internet.com”) or completely wrong (i.e., “endy-mailman@shell1.ba.best.com” instead of “mailman@Northwest Internet.com”). You can override the default domain name by setting the “$strFromDomainName” configuration variable to the domain name of your choice. In both of the examples above, we would set the value to “Northwest Internet.com”. This value can only be used for setting the domain of the user that is currently logged in. Note that in the second example above (“endy-mailman@shell1.ba.best.com”) the domain name is not the only thing that is incorrect. For cases where the POP3 username does not equal the username in the user’s email address, you must modify the MailMan source to provide a mechanism for translating usernames in
