I agree, documentation on virtual domains is not the best :)

I waited on #mailman and got some assistance, it seems that the
latest documentation is in the various bin/ scripts' --help 


I'm not sure of your postfix setup, but i configured mm-cfg.py:

  add_virtualhost('www.virtualdom1.ain','virtualdom1.ain')


And when I add a list like this:

  bin/newlist list-name at www.virtualdom1.ain

I find the mail host is configured as 'virtualdom1.ain'.


I was able to reconfigure an existing list similarly:

  bin/withlist -l -r fix_url list-name -u www.virtualdom1.ain -v


Content on the mailman website about 'virtual hosts' seems to be cruft :)


Hope this helps
