[BlueOnyx:12132] Re: Mailman configured to localhost.localdomain

[Christoph Schneeberger]

Hi Tobias,

That is pretty easy with python, just start python in interactive mode 
and type the following 2 lines:

 >>> from socket import getfqdn
 >>> getfqdn()

But if you call getfqdn() without any parameters it will always assume 
localhost as parameter so this output is perfectly normal and you will 
see it on any BO server like this - if called without any arguments.(1)

If your hosts file is fine and hostname -f reports NOT 
localhost.localdomain your problem most likely lies somewhere else and I 
probably sent you on the wrong track for debugging this. Unfortunately I 
have never used Mailman and can't give any further hints.

Cheers,
Christoph
