Except for the subject this is exactly the same thing you posted less
than 11 hours previously. My answer at
still applies.
As far as the virtual-dom2 and virtual-dom3 files in this example are
concerned, like the virtual-dom1 file, they would be pre-existing files
in your Postfix installation before integration with Mailman.
If you won't tell us what your configuration is and what you want to do,
we can't help you.

Some of the archive pages like the TOC and the current month's index
will be regenerated with the new name, but most of the pages are static
at this point, so yes, a rebuild of the archive is required to fix them.

Except I have no idea why you weren't able to change the name via the
General Options page. I did it myself in my 2.1.11 installation to be
sure it worked, and it did.
Is your Mailman a package? What version?

Subject: [Mailman-Users] including text in msg_header from external files
Hi,
I have got the following problem: I would like use my own application to
manage the headers in the e-mails that are being postet over my mailing
list. My application saves txt file on my server and I would like
mailman to load the content of that file and put it into the header.
Is there any way to do this?
best regards
M. Homziuk

How dynamic is this content. If it doesn't change often, you could
consider wrapping it between
msg_header = """
and
"""
So the whole file looks like
msg_header = """Line 1
Line 2
etc.
"""
and then run
bin/config_list -i /path/to/file listname
to update the list.
You could also modify Mailman/Handlers/Decorate.py to read the header
from a file. To make it somewhat general, you could modify the
decorate() function to look at the template argument and if it begins
with a '/' consider it to be a path to a file containing the text. This
would then work for messages and digests and headers and footers.

The wiki can be edited by anyone, so please go ahead and do that Aidan!

I was pleased to see that the DreamHost implementation of the Mailman archives includes htdig, which seems to be a nice little search facility.

Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman and virtual mailhosting (postfix)
Dear Mark, hello all!
Thank you very much for your detailed reply to my request from June.
Your help is greatly appreciated - but unfortunately I had no time to
check this out until now due to work-overload and holidays.
My system accepts mails for listname at lists.myserver.de without problems.
The only problem is that I can not use the internal redirection from
mailman to listname at myserver.de without (internal) postfix-warnings
because the domain myserver.de is used by the virtual mailhosting also
(see my last post).
So one solution would be to "ask" mailman to redirect all emails not to
listname at myserver.de but to listname at MAIL.myserver.de.
Do you think this is possible or is there another solution for my problem?
Kind regards,
Jens
