The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Dick Visser <address@concealed>]

I spent quite some time, but whatever I tried, it just didn't seem to
be possible to overwrite SERVER_NAME.
Not with SetEnvIf, not with Rewrite.
I just created a new environment var called TEST, and then changed all
(6) occurences of SERVER_NAME to TEST in wwsympa.fcgi.
That did seem to work, at least the www interface is correctly
detecting the vhosts.

Still has to be seen whether is really functions as expected, but at
least I'm getting somewhere now ;-)
