[Mailman-Users] Internationalizing administrative aliases

[Rubén Fernández Asensio]

Hi, thanks for the hint.

However, the changes have effect only on Postfix. I can send a "help" 
request to prova3-peto at poshto.esperanto.cat but the reply seems to come 
from prova3-owner at poshto.esperanto.cat, not from 
prova3-posedanto@þoshto.esperanto.cat. On the other hand, when I reply 
to prova3-owner I only get a message delivery error; I can only write to 
prova3-posedanto.

To fully internalionalize Mailman I would have to edit its templates, 
not just Postfix. Has anybody ever tried this? I guess my idea of 
"internationalization" is more ambitious than usual. Does anybody know 
where I can configure the variables that get substituted in the 
templates like %(requestaddr)s or  %(adminaddr)s?
