I’m obviously new to MM3, so overwhelmed by all the various pieces.
In rereading some documentation and playing with the admin interface, I see that one can specify a web host. I made that change, but it didn’t seem to make any difference.
I’m very tempted to scrap my installation and start over again.
I had also removed the example.com site, which I thought I saw in passing one shouldn’t do.
If I start over, I should be able to have hostname, email domain, and web site all be distinct?
Thank you

We’ve been using MM2 for eons and are working on a migration to MM3. So, bear with me as I’m still coming up to speed. I’m running MM 3.3.8 and Postorious 1.3.8.
Our mailing lists include members within our organization as well as a number outside. We don’t want to expose our MM3 server directly to the open internet, so wish to hide the web portion behind our netscaler and our regular pool of web servers. Those web servers will proxy MM3 web pages on over to our MM3 machine to handle. This seems to work. Email will meander in via MX and mail relay servers.
I found and followed directions in this email regarding changing URL paths: https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flists.mailman3.org%2Farchives%2Flist%2Fmailman-users%40mailman3.org%2Fthread%2FVGXKEAP3YBHNKDRQM76UVD7IRXSLWDDK%2F%23P46QFKN6MPDXKVEZPV7YEMSX3AMAIN7N&data=05%7C01%7CTom.Lieuallen%40oregonstate.edu%7C419eccaacc0f47d3577608dbf056f0e5%7Cce6d05e13c5e4d6287a84c4a2713c113%7C0%7C0%7C638368028422141126%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=XsCvjVUxHojAxBbgz2UWCm4ftBzIlVIUpChCgRAkqMs%3D&reserved=0<https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/VGXKEAP3YBHNKDRQM76UVD7IRXSLWDDK/#P46QFKN6MPDXKVEZPV7YEMSX3AMAIN7N>
So, say our MM3 server is: mm3.fqdn I am trying to publish and use urls like https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fqdn%2Fmailman3-admin&data=05%7C01%7CTom.Lieuallen%40oregonstate.edu%7C419eccaacc0f47d3577608dbf056f0e5%7Cce6d05e13c5e4d6287a84c4a2713c113%7C0%7C0%7C638368028422149033%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=p90NbxFtX8Rsh7T%2BiGM%2FQSfFGd65fz7wsegp83xOIR8%3D&reserved=0<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fqdn%2Fmailman3-admin&data=05%7C01%7CTom.Lieuallen%40oregonstate.edu%7C419eccaacc0f47d3577608dbf056f0e5%7Cce6d05e13c5e4d6287a84c4a2713c113%7C0%7C0%7C638368028422156458%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=zHQ%2B8XKru%2BZwiTGcQT%2FW07xWfNNq8NcIYfYfnF6gbe0%3D&reserved=0><http://www.fqdn/mailman3-admin>, https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fqdn%2Fmailman3%2Flists&data=05%7C01%7CTom.Lieuallen%40oregonstate.edu%7C419eccaacc0f47d3577608dbf056f0e5%7Cce6d05e13c5e4d6287a84c4a2713c113%7C0%7C0%7C638368028422161585%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=nj8IbmRIGHtggzwi2lEerSA2V9EV2rNFdQGmE1ibigo%3D&reserved=0<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fqdn%2Fmailman3%2Flists&data=05%7C01%7CTom.Lieuallen%40oregonstate.edu%7C419eccaacc0f47d3577608dbf056f0e5%7Cce6d05e13c5e4d6287a84c4a2713c113%7C0%7C0%7C638368028422165468%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=ZcILmSfXEVXd0Ai%2FF%2F8pGg%2FN%2BuBeRGEAnUKL5NYf4as%3D&reserved=0><http://www.fqdn/mailman3/lists>. Again, that works for me.
However, MM3 still has its concept of what URLs should be. I hoped I could fix that by way of templates, but I’m not sure there’s a template for everything. I added some templates, but have not replaced all. I was wondering and hoping that some central change could fix any default templates en-mass.
Most recently, I changed the mailman admin email yesterday and the confirmation email directed me to mm3.fqdn/…/confirm-email/…. I looked at the stock templates and nothing there had that wording.
I just looked at postorious docs and nothing jumps out at me there.
- Have I gone down a bad rabbit hole?
- Is there a way to change the advertised web server address?
- Should I just continue rolling out my own templates and hope and assume that will take care of this issue?
Thank you
