Question re. moving a mailing list
I have my original test mailing list "testlist@mischievous.us". I copied it to be "testlist@peacock.place" and then aliased "testlist" on mischievous.us to go to "testlist@peacock.place". This works fine. My "General Options" has "Munge From", so the From address always says "testlist@peacock.place", when peacock.place is sending out the messages. This works fine.
My issue is that the mail sent out says:
From: testlist@peacock.place To: testlist@mischievous.us Cc: <original sender email>
such that when I do a Reply-all, I get a message addressed as:
To: testlist@peacock.place Cc: testlist@mischievous.us
I notice that I don't seem to receive any duplicate messages. Perhaps Mailman is taking care of that for me, which is great! I had expected that my configuration in /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py of:
MTA = 'Postfix' OWNERS_CAN_ENABLE_PERSONALIZATION = Yes RCPT_BASE64_HEADER_NAME = 'X-My-Recip' DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'peacock.place' DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'peacock.place' add_virtualhost('mischievous.us', 'peacock.place') add_virtualhost('peacock.place', 'peacock.place') add_virtualhost('www.peacock.place', 'peacock.place')
would have maybe told it that "mischievous.us" is another way of sending to this same mailing list and thus it wouldn't include the CC, but maybe I'm missing something?

Right. Your original message was To: testlist@mischievous.us so when you reply-all, your MUA includes that address in the recipients of the reply.

Mailman is not doing that. Possibly something is dropping one of the messages because of the duplicate Message-ID

What tells Mailman that "mischievous.us" is another way of sending to this same mailing list is putting testlist@mischievous.us in Privacy options... -> Recipient filters -> acceptable_aliases of the testlist@peacock.place list.
Your add_virtualhost('mischievous.us', 'peacock.place') and add_virtualhost('www.peacock.place', 'peacock.place') have nothing to do with this.
However, as far as I can see, it is not Mailman putting testlist@mischievous.us in the Cc: of your reply-all. It is your MUA.

Ok, it looks as if specifying my "General Options" -> "Host name this list prefers for email" as "mischievous.us" will force the From address on all outgoing messages to say "testlist@mischievous.us". Since that matches with the original To address, then a Reply-all will not produce two addresses.
I think this will work for me and then when I'm ready to really move totally over, I'll just change it.
Thanks for the help!
