The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Allen, Pat" <address@concealed>]

Excuse me if I am muddying up the water on this but I'm trying to get the 
same (or a very similar) problem to work. It appears as if there are some 
different situations involved - at least in my case. 

As Liam pointed out, it appears that the Errors-to and Return-Path headers 
aren't being set correctly with the host value from the robot.conf file.

There is one more situation where things aren't being set correctly. If I 
subscribe or unsubscribe, etc to a list on my virtual server, the From 
address that is used does NOT use the host parameter in the robot.conf file. 
For example, the host parameter in my robot.conf file is set to 
listserver.mbari.org. However, when I subscribe to a list, the headers look 
like:

        From: address@concealed
        Subject: Welcome to list vars
        Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="===Sympa==="
        X-Mailer: Sympa 5.3.4
        Return-Path: address@concealed

When I send messages to and from the list, the host parameter is used for 
most of the headers but is not used for the Errors-to and Return-Path 
addresses

        Reply-To: address@concealed
        X-Loop: address@concealed
        X-Sequence: 2
        Errors-to: address@concealed
        Precedence: list
        X-no-archive: yes
        List-Id: <vars.listserver.mbari.org>
        List-Archive: <http://listserver.mbari.org/sympa/arc/vars>
        List-Help: <mailto:address@concealed?subject=help>
        List-Owner: <mailto:address@concealed>
        List-Post: <mailto:address@concealed>
        List-Subscribe: 
<mailto:address@concealed?subject=subscribe%20vars>
        List-Unsubscribe: 
<mailto:address@concealed?subject=unsubscribe%20vars>
        Return-Path: address@concealed

David,

That didn't seem to fix the problem.

I noticed that the Errors-to field was set incorrectly to
address@concealed (instead of lists.virtualhost.com),
which I think resulted in a bad Return-Path field, as well.
In List.pm distribute_msg() there appeared to be a discrepancy between
how $host was referenced.  The X-Loop string comes out correct in the
email message, but the Errors-to one is incorrect.

Results in message:

<.....>

I think that should be \@$host in the Errors-to line, shouldn't it?
