[Mailman-Developers] on the subject of fix_url, list creation with @ is non-intuitive..

[Joe Rhett]

Vanity domains are almost NEVER virtual hosts.

A virtual host requires me to configure my server to answer mail for their
entire domain.  That makes ZERO sense.  Jesus Bob, have you ever worked on
anything besides a home pc?

lists.meer.net has hundreds of lists. 98% of those lists are 
	listname at vanitydomain1
	listname at vanitydomain2
	listname at vanitydomain3

NONE of these are virtualhosts on lists.meer.net.
