Deep joy :( Still, thanks for checking it out - it means I can at least eliminate my hosting provider from my enquiries.... > My guess is that the CPanel's own scripts are used by CPanel > in place > of the standard Mailman scripts to create new lists and that these > scripts set the list web_page_url and host_name attributes > directly but > without adding any matching add_virtualhost() calls to mm_cfg.py to > expand the VIRTUAL_HOSTS dictionary. Okey doke, so if I say to the Cpanel people that they "need to add matching add_virtualhost() calls to mm_cfg.py to expand the VIRTUAL_HOSTS dictionary." Then they should understand what that means, since they've been doing their own scripts? > This would not be a major surprise as the VIRTUAL_HOSTS dictionary > stuff now in Mailman is a MM 2.1.x introduction and CPanel basic > implementation predates it with MM 2.0.x.

An "easy" solution would be for private and public to do the same thing, but I'd still have to convince the Cpanel guys to implement and my hosting provider to upgrade :( You have been a great help already by getting me this far.
