[Mailman-Developers] Renaming a list

Hey folks!

I wanted to rename a list (only the list_name, not the list_id) and I
figured I would make the transition smoother by adding an "AcceptableAlias"
with the old name. I did that and realized that the acceptable aliases are
not added to the postfix_lmtp file, as a result emails sent to the old
address are just bounced at the Postfix level.
Is this the intended behavior ?

BTW, changing the list_name attribute is sufficient to rename a list,
right? I didn't find anything else to change since everything seems to be
keyed to the list_id but I thought I'd check with you.

Thanks!

Aurélien
