I have multiple installs on my test machine some that use sendmail and others that use postfix, so it's no problem to have multiple Mailman installs on a system all using the same MTA - at least technically. You've nailed the administrative problem though... I don't think there is a check to see if the alias already exists. Now Postfix will give you an error to alert you of the duplicate alias, but I don't think that Mailman listens for that - so the duplicate alias would be added. Of course Postfix would sort it out by using the first match in its hash tables, so the mail would go to one of the installs. Still that isn't much help. You could simply write a script to look for duplicates between the two sites and have that kicked off by the Create List routine - or add that as an external script and send an alert to the administrators when there is a collision. You could even have the script rename the newer alias.
