It makes sense, but it carries the restriction that list names must be
globally unique. I.e. if you have a list1 at domain.one, you can't have a
separate list1 at domain.two.

The above router and transport should be OK.

Because these assume each domain has it's own mailman instance in
/virtual/DOMAIN.NAME/mailman and these didn't exist in your case.

In other words, you don't need to change anything in Exim for virtual
domains with a single Mailman instance, but you do need an

add_virtualhost('virtual.web.domain', 'virtual.email.domain')

line in mm_cfg.py for each virtual host in addition to defining the
hosts and their host specific Mailman stuff in the web server.
