Question: Mail Aliases in installation 

Forum: HyperNews and Email
Date: 1999, Sep 12
From: Eric Frias

I didn't notice any mention of setting up the mail aliases in the installation instructions. As soon as you submit the setup form, you get a message from Owner-HyperNews@`hostname`, which probably doesn't exist for new installations. You might want to put a few lines about adding this alias in the installation instructions.

And now for the question: I want mail to appear to be from Owner-HyperNews@my-host-name.org. The server I'm running on is a virtual host for a dozen different domain names. In addition to the fact that it just look unpleasant having the mail appear to be coming from a seemingly unrelated machine, it's possible that another one of the web sites hosted on the machine will set up their own hypernews setup (a completely different copy of the files, different administrator, etc) and I don't want to be getting their mail. Is this currently hard-coded, or can I change it? (where?)
