[Cialug] Mailman configuration question

[David Champion]

On the Mailman list admin web interface, there's an option to set the 
preferred domain name - have you done this? I've noticed that if you 
don't, it has odd behavior, including some of the web interface doesn't 
work right.

The lists I'm running show the list's virtual domain in the Sender, 
Errors-to, List-*, but mix in the host's real domain in other places. 
I'm running with the postfix MTA.
