Email domain: lists.feministwiki.org | |||
Software: GNU Mailman, Postfix | |||
Postfix is configured to recognize <code>lists.feministwiki.org</code> as a "local" domain. This means it uses the file specified in the <code>alias_maps</code> configuration directive (typically <code>/etc/aliases</code>) to decide the final recipient of an e-mail sent to this domain. Correspondingly, we populate <code>/etc/aliases</code> with the aliases needed by Mailman to operate each mailing list it controls. | |||
Note that there is no DNS entry for <code>lists.feministwiki.org</code> because e-mail software just checks the MX record for <code>feministwiki.org</code> when the recipient is from the domain <code><em>anything</em>.feministwiki.org</code>. | |||
