Most of you probably backup up your Mailman machine and save the archive on tape or on some other related machine. What I have attempted to do is create two mailman machines, identical hardware and software with the same lists on both keeping them in sync. When one goes down I can use the other, of course both machine have a different host name, but I use a CNAME (configured in the bind tables) to keep the same address for users to use their mailing list without having to switch to a different SMTP Host Name if the primary Mailman machine goes down. Only problem when I send out messages to the lists, the To: header field always displays the SMTP host name not the CNAME when the message is received. I have tryed using Masqurading rules in Red Hat 6.0 Sendmail configuration, but it does not work, which is below. Has everyone tried this sort of thing, or does anyone know a solution to this problem? Why my masquerade rules will not work? # Masquerading rules S1 R$*< <at> mm1.isu.edu> $ <at> $1 < <at> maillist.isu.edu> R$*< <at> mm1.isu.edu.> $ <at> $1 < <at> maillist.isu.edu.> -- Kory Wheatley Office Phone 236-3874 Computing & Communication Academic Computing Analyst sr.
