Subject: CNAME for list server
From: "Les Bell" <lesbell @ lesbell . com . au>

To: majordomo-users @ greatcircle . com

This is probably a simple question, but I've been re-reading the docs to
the extent that I can't see the wood for the trees:

I have a host, canonical name abelard.lesbell.com.au, on which I have set
up a list. It's running majordomo 1.94.3 and sendmail 8.9.1. Because I
might well move the list to a different host later, I set up a CNAME record
for this purpose in the DNS, giving it the CNAME lists.lesbell.com.au.

sendmail.cw has an entry for the lists CNAME, and majordomo.cf has
$whereami = "lists.lesbell.com.au";. The list.config file has reply_to =
"nc-instructors@lists.lesbell.com.au";.

Yet, sendmail is mangling the hostname as it sends messages, so that the
hostname in all the header fields is "abelard" rather than "lists"
(irrelevant lines excised):

Received: (from majordom@localhost)
     by abelard.lesbell.com.au (8.9.1a/8.9.1) id KAA03174
     for nc-instructors-outgoing; Thu, 3 Feb 2000 10:20:56 +1100
From: "Les Bell" <lesbell@lesbell.com.au>
To: nc-instructors@abelard.lesbell.com.au
Sender: owner-nc-instructors@abelard.lesbell.com.au
Precedence: bulk
Reply-To: nc-instructors@abelard.lesbell.com.au

I know I've overlooked something obvious, somewhere, but I can't, for the
life of me, see what it is. Anybody?

Best,
