In trying to get things like
pta-bo...@one-domain.example
and
pta-bo...@second-domain.example
to be distinct lists on a site that is hosting both of those domains,
I attempted to install multiple instances of Mailman on the same
host. That is advice that I saw somewhere on this list.
Unfortunately, it is still not working for me. From the web end of
things it is actually working fine. Within the virtual domains in the
Apache configuration file for each domain, I point to their respective
(and distinct) mailman installations.
But I am still having problems separating these as far as Postfix is
concerned.
For one mailman instance, I will have in
/usr/local/mailman/vhosts/lists.wilson-pta.org/data/virtual-domains
# STANZA START: pta-board
# CREATED: Wed Aug 12 17:17:42 2009
pta-bo...@lists.wilson-pta.org pta-board
pta-board-ad...@lists.wilson-pta.org pta-board-admin
pta-board-boun...@lists.wilson-pta.org pta-board-bounces
pta-board-conf...@lists.wilson-pta.org pta-board-confirm
pta-board-j...@lists.wilson-pta.org pta-board-join
etc.
And in
/usr/local/mailman/data/virtual-domain
# STANZA START: pta-board
# CREATED: Fri Mar 30 14:20:25 2007
pta-bo...@lists.shepard-families.org pta-board
pta-board-ad...@lists.shepard-families.org pta-board-admin
pta-board-boun...@lists.shepard-families.org pta-board-bounces
pta-board-conf...@lists.shepard-families.org pta-board-confirm
pta-board-j...@lists.shepard-families.org pta-board-join
etc.
The problem is that right hand side of those, something like
pta-board-confirm
with no domain at all, should sometimes go to the alias defined in
/usr/local/mailman/data/aliases
which says
pta-board-bounces: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman bounces
pta-board"
But at other times, it should get delivered to the alias specified in
/usr/local/mailman/vhosts/lists.wilson-pta.org/data/aliases
which says
pta-board-confirm: "|/usr/local/mailman/vhosts/lists.wilson-
pta.org/mail/mailman confirm pta-board"
Anyway, in my set up, it's always going to the first one first (which
is listed earlier in postfix/main.cf)
Both these aliases files and both virtual-domains files are generated
by Mailman. So I don't see where I have scope to fix things. I would
like to know how people who have run multiple instances of mailman
have managed to keep lists in different namespaces.
