[axxs-sysadmin] Mailman virtual lists

[maikkeli]

Hei all,

There's a problem with Mailman, in that it won't let this happen:

listname123 at virtualdomain1
listname123 at virtualdomain2

..ie, it won't allow the creation of the second list since
"listname123" already exists, despite the different domain.

As far as research so far shows, there are ~3 alternatives to allow this:

**Patch Mailman:
http://nix.lauft.net/mailman/README.VHOST
- needs repatching every time it's upgraded.
- might not work with plesk.

**Wait for Mailman 2.2 or 3.0
(who knows when..)
- probably the easiest way, albeit the slowest.

**Switch to Sympa:
http://www.sympa.org/wiki/manual/virtual-hosts
FWIW, riseup use sympa.
- perl isn't a pretty as python.
- might not work with plesk.
- old lists'll need converting. (unless left running if we can run 2
list servers).

And a #4:
**deal with it. invent another list name.

Thoughts, anyone?
