[sourceforge seems to be down, so I post this here] Hi there,
We developped a reliable solution for running lists with the same name on different domains on the same Mailman installation. I implemented that on top of the Mailman 2.1.1-5.1 Debian stable package. All that is needed is to patch 2 files (bin/newlist, Mailman/MailList.py) in the mailman install, and here is the patch: http://bugs.koumbit.net/file_download.php?file_id=3&type=bug There's only one caveat right now: Mailman/Cgi/create.py might need to get patched too, but I haven't got around looking at it yet, and it "just works", for now. I don't know what's the current status of virtual hosting support on Mailman, but this patch is a simple hack that should bring joy in the homes of all Mailman admins around the world. :) I got my inspiration and part of the code from: http://mithrandr.moria.org/blog/139.html All it does is to add the domain to the internal_name() of a list. The real_name is kept as is, and the getListAddress() does the Right Thing. This makes Mailman generate aliases like: list-example.com: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post list-example.com" Care will have to be taken on the MTA side to map those list-example.com to [EMAIL PROTECTED] We are using alternc.org to manage our server, so we are using LDAP, so everything went pretty smoothly. :) But I guess it will require some magic on the Postfix side or something... Cheers, A.
