What I would rather need to have is a single instance of Mailman handling 
several domains with their separate urls. Not sure if that makes any sense?

My current working configuration on the single domain has the following 
router:

mailman_router:
driver = accept
require_files = MAILMAN_HOME/lists/$local_part/config.pck
  local_part_suffix_optional
  local_part_suffix = -admin     : \
         -bounces   : -bounces+* : \
         -confirm   : -confirm+* : \
         -join      : -leave     : \
         -owner     : -request   : \
         -subscribe : -unsubscribe
  transport = mailman_transport

and its transport:

mailman_transport:
  driver = pipe
  command = MAILMAN_WRAP \
            '${if def:local_part_suffix \
                  {${sg{$local_part_suffix}{-(\\w+)(\\+.*)?}{\$1}}} \
                  {post}}' \
            $local_part
  current_directory = MAILMAN_HOME
  home_directory = MAILMAN_HOME
  user = MAILMAN_USER
  group = MAILMAN_GROUP

Which according to the instructions I mentioned previously I had changed the 
router part as:

require_files = 
/virtual/${domain}/mailman/lists/${lc:$local_part}/config.pck

and the transport part:

command = /virtual/${domain}/mailman/mail/mailman \
            ${if def:local_part_suffix \
                 {${sg{$local_part_suffix}{-(\\w+)(\\+.*)?}{\$1}}}
                 {post}} \
              $local_part
  current_directory = /virtual/${domain}/mailman
  home_directory = /virtual/${domain}/mailman

These are the changes I made hoping that they would handle my virtual 
domains. That is when I started getting the delivery errors.

Noted. I am changing my configs accordingly according to this and see if 
there are any changes.

Many thanks,

Netsai.
