Is it possible to change the "public" email address of a list (that
reported in the rfc2369 headers, message footers, etc.) while
maintaining a different name internally? Would there be any obvious
problems I'm missing with such a feature?

For our virtually hosted lists, we need independent namespaces on a
per-domain basis. This isn't really something that Mailman currently
handles AFAICT. So we might have:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] (or [EMAIL PROTECTED]) forwarding to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Obviously this looks ugly, and encourages people to send to the "wrong"
address; it's a simple matter, of course, to alias
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This "hack" (if it worked) wouldn't be perfect, but would at least
improve the virtual hosting situation for our purposes. For various
reasons, it's not practical to do a unique installation of Mailman for
each account or domain, and requiring unique listnames globally will
also not work for our purposes.

If not, consider this an RFE (I can submit one on the site if
requested). If someone wanted to provide a patch for this (against
2.1.3), I might even be able to give them some money if it worked
properly.
