Searching the FAQ wizard at

for

virtual

will return some relevant information including FAQs 4.29. 4.47 and
4.62.

Mailman version? :-)

Either put the Mailman specific alias and scriptalias, etc stuff in
each virtual host section in the web server config, or put it
somewhere where it will apply to all hosts.

Put directives like:

add_virtualhost('dom.ain', 'dom.ain')
add_virtualhost('another.domain','another.domain')

in mm_cfg.py. This assumes you will access the web pages via
http://dom.ain/..., as well as emailing mailing-list-alpha at dom.ain,
i.e., that the web domain and the email domain are the same for the
hosts. If not, the generic form is

add_virtualhost('web.dom.ain', 'email.dom.ain')

Then when you create lists for these domains, they will only appear on
listinfo and admin overview pages accessed from that domain and web
links and email addresses for those lists will all use the list's
domain.

And read the FAQs mentioned above.
