can a single mailman/postfix instance run lists for two different domains?
Hi,
We have a mailman list running:-
mailman hostname = lists.example1.org mailling list domain = example1.org
mx record for example1.org points to lists.example1.org
Mailman and postfix are configured to use the hostname and domain explicitly to handle example1.org mailing lists.
Can a single mailman/postfix instance be configured to handle mailing lists for two different domains, if yes, how is this configured?
e.g.
mailman hostname = lists.example1.org
mailling list domains to handle example1.org different1.org
mx record for example1.org points to lists.example1.org There is no mx record for different1.org but if mailman/postfix can handle multiple domains, the mx record can change to point to lists.example1.org
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I'm assuming you're using Mailman 2.1. Mailman 3 is different in several ways, but supports multiple domains without restriction.
Mailman 2.1.x as distributed by the GNU Mailman project supports multiple domains with the restriction that list names must be globally unique.
Yes, see <http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node12.html> and it's subsections.
There are some other things like add_virtualhost() lines in mm_cfg.py and things get a little messy if you want to use the same web host for the web UI for lists in different email domains, but it is certainly doable in multiple ways, but as I said you can't have two lists with the same name even if the domains are different.
The easiest thing is just add different1.org to mydestination in Postfix main.cf and add aliases for lists in both domains without regard to domain. You may or may not be able to do that and you may or may not need to make changes to Mailman's config, or possibly just change the host_name attribute for lists in different1.org.
Without knowing more specifics about your current postfix and Mailman configs, I can't say much more.
