Mailman in a virtual hosting environment

[Anonymous]

I’m using the virtual mail and web hosting built into Mac OS X Server. Using Server Admin it seems to only allow you to create mailing lists for your default mailhost. How would you configure Mac OS X Server to allow lists for each virtual host? I did this successfully once on a gentoo system and telling Postfix to read the alias information from a table in a MySQL database. Is this the route I should go on OS X? Where are the Mailman files found… I see /var/mailman, but there must be more. Thanks for your help!

I don’t have my notes handy from when I configured my server, but the big thing is that you have to use the command line to create the virtual lists (as far as I know).

cd /usr/share/mailman
sudo -u mailman bin/newlist
-> [email protected]

The restart postfix to reload the conf files.

The key is creating the list with the virtual doamin name appended.
I might have had to make a minor change to the postfix config, but I’m not sure.

I’d sure [b]love[/b] to know if this is indeed the way to set this up, and would greatly appreciate detailed directions on how to do this.

To restate this for the sake of searching this site: I’d appreciate help learning how to set up Mailman on Tiger Server, when using virtual domains.
Thank you.
