[Mailman-Users] Virtual hosting overview?

If your server has suexec enabled (for security) the admin
pages, listinfo pages, etc. will have the url of
the server_name, not the virtual_domain_name. This is
because suexec does not allow annonymous login.

So, instead of a url like:
http://VIRTUAL-DOMAIN/mailman/listinfo/LIST-NAME
http://VIRTUAL-DOMAIN/mailman/admin/LIST-NAME/  the urls will be
something like:

http://SERVER-DOMAIN-NAME/mailman/listinfo/LIST-NAME_VIRTUAL-DOMAIN
http://SERVER-DOMAIN-NAME/mailman/admin/LIST-NAME_VIRTUAL-DOMAIN

This has been reported as a common issue with the millions
of domains that are using cPanel as the user interface after cPanel
server owners enabled suexec because of security concerns.

If you are a reseller using cPanel, or, your server is has suexec
enabled there is no workaround; this is not a mailman issue, but a
limitation of having suexec enabled.
