What is the current status of virtual domain support?
(By "virtual domain support", I am referring to the ability of a single
Mailman installation to serve lists in different domains, even if the
lists have the same "name").
The only up-to-date information I could find is this from the file NEWS:
----------------------------------------------
2.1 beta 4 (26-Oct-2002)
[...]
o bin/fix_url.py grew some command line options to support
moving a list to a specific virtual domain.
2.1 alpha 3 (22-Oct-2001)
[...]
o Better virtual host support by adding a mapping from the host
name given in cgi's HTTP_HOST/SERVER_NAME variable to the email host
used in list addresses. (E.g. www.python.org maps to @python.org).
----------------------------------------------
If one can move a list "to a specific virtual domain", that would imply
support for virtual domains. And yet I cannot find any information
about this feature. In fact, README.EXIM (I happen to use Exim)
specifically states that virtual domains (with overlapping list names)
are not yet supported.
As an admin trying to find information about virtual domain support,
this has been a frustrating experience. (Also, this seems like it would
be a feature high on the priority list, but I've been waiting for over a
year for it. Why not simply save lists/stuff as lists/domain/stuff?)
Thanks,
