Yes. Find the locations of the servers as described above, and remove the entire “” field from your templates entirely. The incoming server will need to be removed from “t_login.htm”, and if you want to rig your SMTP server also then you would need to remove the outgoing server specification in both “t_f_messageform.htm” and “t_nf_messageform.htm”. Finally, set the configuration variables “$strIncomingServer” and “$strOutgoingServer” in the MailMan script itself, as illustrated in the comments. Those variables are set toward the top of the script. If you set these values, then even if a hacker attempts to spoof a login page to redirect MailMan to a different server, it will always use the servers that you specify.
