Simple, yet over my head multiple domain problem
Greetings Geniuses...
I have mailman 2.1.11 running with postfix, and it's absolutely great. I love it. The problem is...I'm going to be honest when I say I'm definitely below average intelligence with this sort of thing. I don't know how to make it so I can have more than one domain on my mailman install. I have all the domains pointing to the correct IP address, so the interface works on each domain. I can change the hostname in my main.cffile to whatever domain I want to work at that instant, and it works-but I don't know how I can have 5 domains that work at the same time. I can only get them to work one at a time. I understand that these files must be changed: main.cf mm_cfg.py (something involving virtual hosts????)
But I've looked everywhere on the internet and I can't find a step by step guide for (idiots) if you will on what I need to do to what file word for word.
Basically, how can I make: domain1.info domain2.info domain3.info domain4.info domain5.info
all work at the same time.
I know this forum is for advanced issues in general, been on it for quite sometime. So I apologize for filling your inbox with such a silly question.
I am so grateful for your assistance.
Thank you, Tyler

This list is for any and all Mailman users. No apologies required.
If I understand correctly, the easiest solution is to make all the domains local in Postfix. I.e. in main.cf, if for example you have
myhostname = domain1.info
you could put
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, domain2.info, domain3.info, domain4.info, domain5.info
Then, assuming you have aliases for all the lists, this should work.
In any case, you should also have in mm_cfg.py (assuming the web domain corresponding to the email domain domain1.info is www.domain.info)
add_virtualhost(www.domain1.info, domain1.info) add_virtualhost(www.domain2.info, domain2.info) add_virtualhost(www.domain3.info, domain3.info) add_virtualhost(www.domain4.info, domain4.info) add_virtualhost(www.domain5.info, domain5.info)
This is to facilitate creating lists in the proper domain from the web.
If you want some of these domains to be "virtual" in Postfix, it's a bit more involved. If you let us know exactly what the requirement is, we can help with that too.
Mark, That solved it! Not only are you really smart, you're nice too. That always makes my day better.
Thanks for taking the time to answer the question. That was so easy and simple to do-but somehow when I get inside mailman I have this horrible fear of breaking it. (I've done that a few times).
Thanks again! -Ty
