Greetings,
We have a list that is likely to be changing domains, but not list names or IP, in the very near future. Could you point me to a resource that show the best way to handle this?
Thanks!

If the domain is already known to Mailman, just run fix_url. If not put an add_virtualhost() in mm_cfg.py and then run fix_url. See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/gIA9> and perhaps other FAQs turned up by a search for fix_url.
There will still be an issue in that links to the listinfo page from the list's archive pages will have the old domain. The ones in the overall table of contents and the current periodic indices will be fixed automatically with the first archived post following the change, but the older indices will not. You can edit them with a script or by hand if there aren't too many, or you can rebuild the archive with "bin/arch --wipe"
