add_virtualhost('www.one.example.com', 'mail.one.example.com')
add_virtualhost('www.two.example.com', 'mail.two.example.com')
add_virtualhost('www.three.example.com', 'mail.three.example.com')


Note that all add_virtualhost(x, y) does is add an entry to the
VIRTUAL_HOSTS dictionary with key = x and value = y. For this reason
all the web hosts MUST be unique; if not the second entry with the
same web host will replace the first. It used to be the case that some
code in the archiver inverted this dictionary to look up the web host
corresponding to a mail host and for that reason, the mail hosts
needed to be unique. This is no longer the case in current Mailman,
but it is still a good idea not to have two entries with the same mail
host.
