It is. The thinking is that whatever email addresses end up funneling to a list is really outside of Mailman’s control. That’s really part of your MTA’s configuration, and acceptable aliases are just a way of telling Mailman to expand its implicit address logic. > BTW, changing the list_name attribute is sufficient to rename a list, > right?

List name is mutable but list-id is not, even if you move it to a different domain! -Barry
