+!List Configuration
+If you want to further customize the settings for lists, edit the util/mailman.cfg file. These settings are passed on to each list when it is created.
+
+!!Using a subdomain for list emails
+A common configuration if using the ((GroupsPackage)) in conjunction with ((BoardsPackage)) and Mailman mailing lists is to subdomain the email lists. For example you might want all your mailing list emails to be at something like: listname@groups.yourdomain.com
+
+Mailman can't know this unless you tell it, it will default to telling recipients that the list is at listname@yourdomain.com. To override this, edit the util/mailman.cfg file and add: host_name = "subname.youdomain.com".
