That depends on a few things. For starters, does your MTA support [EMAIL PROTECTED] AND [EMAIL PROTECTED] If it does, then you will need to use the virtualization features of your MTA to map each list to a unique local email account. I.E.: in sendmail this would be the virtusertable where you would map [EMAIL PROTECTED] to "list-a" and [EMAIL PROTECTED] to "list-b". Your sendmail aliases file would then contain entires like this: list-a: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post list-a" list-a-admin: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman admin list-a" list-b: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post list-b" list-b-admin: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman admin list-b" Additionally, using virtualization features of your MTA, you need to change sender (outbound) addresses so that email from list-a appears as coming from [EMAIL PROTECTED] not [EMAIL PROTECTED] In sendmail this is done in genericstable. At this point you can change each Mailman list settings so that emails aesthetically appear as from LIST instead of LIST-A or LIST-B (subject line, footer, subscription notice, etc). The real visible issue may arise in URLs that users will use (i.e. http://<server>/mailman/list). You will need to configure your webserver to redirect http://domain1.com/mailman/list to http://domain1.com/mailman/list-a AND http://domain2.com/mailman/list to redirect to http://domain2.com/mailman/list-b. I suppose you could also use proxy features of Apache to proxy http://domain2.com/mailman/list-b as http://domain2.com/mailman/list and the same for list-a. Shouldn't be too difficult. NONE of the above will ever completely hide the real list name from email headers, but who really looks at those these days? :-) Hth, -Jim P. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
