Category: list administration Group: Mailman 2.1 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: The Anarcat (anarcat) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: true virtual hosting patch for 2.1 Initial Comment: [copy of the mail sent to -developpers@] We developped a reliable solution for running lists with the same name on different domains on the same Mailman installation. I implemented that on top of the Mailman 2.1.1-5.1 Debian stable package. All that is needed is to patch 2 files (bin/newlist, Mailman/MailList.py) in the mailman install, and here is the patch: http://bugs.koumbit.net/file_download.php?file_id=3&type=bug There's only one caveat right now: Mailman/Cgi/create.py might need to get patched too, but I haven't got around looking at it yet, and it "just works", for now. I don't know what's the current status of virtual hosting support on Mailman, but this patch is a simple hack that should bring joy in the homes of all Mailman admins around the world. :) I got my inspiration and part of the code from: http://mithrandr.moria.org/blog/139.html All it does is to add the domain to the internal_name() of a list. The real_name is kept as is, and the getListAddress() does the Right Thing. This makes Mailman generate aliases like: list-example.com: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post list-example.com" Care will have to be taken on the MTA side to map those list-example.com to list@example.com. We are using alternc.org to manage our server, so we are using LDAP, so everything went pretty smoothly. :) But I guess it will require some magic on the Postfix side or something... Cheers, A. PS: for those wanting to see more, you can come to our Wiki: http://koumbit.net/wiki/VirtualMailman You'll probably have a little trouble finding your way if you don't read french though. :) Babelfish might help, haven't tried. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Paul Hampson (tbble) Date: 2007-03-02 09:57 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=87909 Originator: NO Grab mailman-vh-2.1.7.patch from http://nix.lauft.net/mailman/, it applies fine to 2.1.9. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: GILLIG (fgillig) Date: 2007-03-01 22:18 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1463624 Originator: NO I search this patch for mailman 2.1.9 ...

I tried to create a list called "list@domain1.com", but this failed with the error "Error: List name must not include "@"". Does this patch have any sort of instructions anywhere? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Arnaud Lavrard (arnaudlavrard) Date: 2005-07-20 23:52 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1315788 I ported the patch to mailman 2.1.5 : http://al.blog.free.fr/mailman/mailman-vh-2.1.5.patch ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: The Anarcat (anarcat) Date: 2005-03-17 07:40 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=246797 I have ported the patch to 2.1.4, no news on 2.1.5 yet. I have also put the patch in a seperate CVS server. Fetch all the goods there: http://cvs.koumbit.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb/koumbit-maint/patches/mailman-true-vir... http://cvs.koumbit.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb/koumbit-maint/patches/mailman-true-vir... I've also updated the 2.1.1 patch to fix the list-id, so I delete the attachment, fetch the patch straight from our CVS for the latest fixes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=943827&group_id=103
