cPanel changing MailMan list URL

I moved my domain to cPanel from Ple*sk and ran into a small issue with my mailing list. Ple*sk will setup the lists under “mail.[domain]/mailman/” where as cPanel will set it up directly under the FQDN “[domain]/mailman/”. When the account is copied over to cPanel this configuration tid bid is not modified, possibly because cPanel is unaware of this. Luckily, I have privileged access to my server so, I fixed the issue. Here is how I did it:

  1. Go to /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman
  2. Run bin/withlist -l [LIST]
  3. Type m.web_page_url. This will display the current configuration URL for your list, assuming http://mail.[domain]/mailman/.
  4. Now you can change it to what it needs to be: m.web_page_url = ‘http://[domain]/mailman/’
  5. Save: m.Save()
  6. Now exit by using: CTRL-D

That’s it!
