	What "virtual host support"?  Can you provide a reference to the 
documentation or the FAQ that shows what you're doing?

	So far as I know, the only virtual domain stuff that Mailman 
supports is discussed at 
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.047.htp>.

	The standard "troubleshooting" FAQ entry is at 
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.014.htp>. 
Try everything shown there.

	That would be bad.  That will mean it could be very difficult or 
perhaps impossible to track down your problem.
