Also, I believe I remember a goal for Mailman v3 was to have one instance of Mailman be able to host lists for multiple domains.
Yes, but not on physically distinct hosts. Or in other words, yes MM3 supports virtual domains
Given that information and information from Andrew and Stephen, there are several different layers of "ownership". Thinking about it a little, I see:
"Owner" Description
List Owner can administer a list Server Owner can administer all lists on one server (server may host multiple domains) Site Owner can administer for all lists at a site (site has multiple servers) (site is a physical location) Domain Owner can administer for all lists for a domain (domains may be hosted on multiple servers possibly across multiple sites)
Note: if site is considered a physical location, then an additional owner permission may be "Host Owner" for all their sites at different locations
I think the distinction between server owner and site owner as described above doesn't exist, or I don't quite understand the definitions. Multiple servers isn't a concept embodied in Mailman anywhere. For example, if you were to run a hosting provider and had clients at A.example.com and B.example.com, and they ran distinct Mailman servers, the two wouldn't have any organizational or administrative overlap, except at a higher level, e.g. postmaster@HOSTING.example.com. That's not something I see Mailman having to represent in any useful way.
