The procedure for adding a host name is
- Put the appropriate add_virtualhost() in mm_cfg.py.
- If Postfix is to generate virtual alias maps for this domain, add it to POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS in mm_cfg.py.
- To move any lists to that domain, run fix_url with the -u option on the list(s)
hm, do I get it right that I have to add the hostnames twice in mm_cfg.py when using Postfix, once in add_virtualhost, once in POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS?
Maybe. It depends on what you are ultimately doing.
Right now, I have DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST and DEFAULT_URL_HOST to lists.domain1.tld with the only add_virtualhost line being add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST).
OK. That's good.
In addition, I have set POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['lists.domain1.tld', 'lists.domain2.tld'], so the only occurence of domain2 is in POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS.
That may be OK. If lists.domain1.tld and lists.domain2.tld are both virtual_alias_domains in postfix or otherwise require virtual_alias_maps, then you need POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS as you have it. This controls what lists get entries generated in virtual-mailman for virtual_alias_maps.
However, I have already wondered where to set the web URL. Right now, lists.domain2 still have lists.domain1 e.g. in the List-Archive header.
You want an additional add_virtualhost like
add_virtualhost('lists.domain2.tld', 'lists.domain2.tld')
This is so that you can go to http://lists.domain2.tld/mailman/create (or whatever this translates to in your installation) and create a list and it will be created with the proper http://lists.domain2.tld/mailman/ web_page_url and lists.domain2.tld host_name.
Also you can use "bin/newlist -u lists.domain2.tld" to create a list properly in this domain, and you can use
bin/withlist -l -r fix_url -u lists.domain2.tld existing-listname
to fix the web_page_url and host_name for an existing domain2 list (after doing that, you may need to run bin/genaliases to update virtual-mailman).
This will make appropriate links with host lists.domain2.tld in the List-* headers in posts, on all dynamic web pages and all new or modified archive pages for the list. However, existing static archive pages will still have "listinfo" links with the old domain. These either have to be ignored, edited manually or updated by rebuilding the list's entire archive with "bin/arch --wipe listname".
