Hello,

i have a problem with some e-mails where the e-mail
sender isn't the listname but something like this:
owner-<listname>-outgoing. Due to my company's configuration,
only mail to listname@domain.com or owner-listname@domain.com
is allowed to reach the server where majordomo is
installed. After altering the domain name, but keeping
the old one too, i have seen some errors on the mail
server, that there is mail with owner-listname-outgoing@domain.com
as the sender. This address is not known to our mailserver, as i
haven't entered it in the /etc/mail/aliases, so naturally an error
is produced. What could cause such mails by majordomo? I thought
the internal mail with the listname-outgoing address as the sender
invokes the actual mail to be send to the list members, but stays
inside. What could that be?

Note: all mail is sent to the majordomo server through our
internal mail server, not directly from the internet to
majordomo. On the other hand, outgoing mail from majordomo
is send via the external mail server. We don't want users to
answer to listname@server-where-majordomo-dwells.com, rather
to listname@company-domain.com. Ah, yes, and sendmail on the
majordomo server knows both domains, too.


Thanks in advance,
