I found http://ndim.fedorapeople.org/stuff/mailman-vhost/ which appears
to contain the same patches that were at
http://nix.lauft.net/htdocs/mailman/.

Thanks for this.

This stuff looks a bit old. It's patches against Mailman 2.1.7 and files seem to date back to 2006. The docs talk about what's going to happen in 2008.

Does this code patch against 2.1.12? Is there newer code than this or should I get it from git? And is there any more documentation than the ReadMe files on this site?

I thought I saw a branch up in the Launchpad project that deals with this. Is that a better place to start than these patches? Are these patches still the recommended way to achieve what I'm looking for?

My concerns right now are:

1. I need to implement this on a production system, so it has to implement the ability to have the same list names on multiple domains and domain-specific site passwords. And it needs to be stable (i.e. it needs to work as advertised).

2. I need to deploy this pretty quickly so I need some documentation or at least people willing to help if I get stuck.

and
3. I need to know if the changes proposed here (or anywhere) will be compatible with what will eventually be adopted in mainline, or at least that there will be some kind of migration path. I can't really afford to send us down a dead-end path.

I'm sorry about all the questions but I'm a bit under the pump here, but I also want to do it right the first time. Any advice anyone can give will be most gratefully received.

Geoff.
