I did a little hack to majordomo 1.94 to add a "-w <hostname>" option to
the majordomo script. This allows me to specify the $whereami variable
on the command line of majordomo. If -w is specified, then I also set
the $whoami variable, which clobbers the $whoami from majordomo.cf.
At my site I host mailing lists for three astronomy clubs and one
bridge club, and while it's no big deal to have all of the majordomo
administrative email referring to "Majordomo@whiteoaks.com," I find it
aesthetically pleasing to use the registered domain names for each of
the organizations involved.
Below is a patch, if anyone is interested.
Does anyone have a good reason not to do this?
Best regards,
Mojo
