[Mailman-Users] Virtual Hosts (was wierd errors in maillog

[Cal Evans]

When I asked the question, someone suggested that they had compiled separate
copies of mailman for each virtual domain.  This works. It's how I'm now
running.

Before adopting this I did some research into the code. While I am not a
Python programmer, it would seem to me that one step that could be taken is
to make the program load a different mm_cfg.py for each domain. If the
path/name of that file could be passed in as a parameter and mm_cfg.py be
the default if nothing else is loaded then at least one of the problems
would be solved.

The other issue I ran into (and couldn't see an immediate way to solve) was
the cron jobs.  You would still need separate cron jobs for each domain. If
you use a standard directory structure (I do) for ach of your domains, it
might be possible to pass in a list of the domains and have the cron jobs
run the program once for each domain in the list. Assuming you have the
mm_cfg.py file for each domain in the same place for each domain..i.e.
/home/mydomains/thisdomain.com/configfiles/mm_cfg.py
/home/mydomains/tatdomain.com/configfiles/mm_cfg.py
etc.

Again, I'm not a Python programmer, but if someone wanted to make a patch to
the relevant programs, I would be happy to share what I learned in my
research.

FWIW,

Hey again.

The reason it didn't work before was 'couse i tried to run the list
as a virtualone. The aliases were modified for sendmails
virtusertable but aperantly that didnt work.

Is there anyone outthere who has a way to operate mailman with virtual hosts
?

We want to use mailman for several domains, but obviusly we can only
have one "news" and one "list" etc. etc. if we run it as it's setup
standard.

any ideas ppl ?
