Yeah, the vhost- and site-specific info was already a problem in ZMailman. 
You simply need an object above mailing lists, which I called Mailman 
Folder (not the best name I know). There you can save all the specific site 
and host information and all the other default values.

Okay, if you want to call it like that. BTW, I think the MemberAdaptor is 
already a good step, but it still does not clean it up completely yet. I 
still saw the members' language setting being saved in a separate attribute 
'language' inside the MailList object.... (just to name one) There is a lot 
of work to do with the data structure interface... I cross my fingers and 
hope I will have enough time to make a class design over break, similar to 
the one I started at 
http://demo.iuveno-net.de/iuveno/Products/ZMailman/Documentation. Then some 
of the real issues will become obvious.

Stephan
