[Mailman-Users] Mailman, Virtual Hosts and SUEXEC

I've heard from numerous resellers, who are unhappy that there
is an incompatibilty when Mailman runs in a virtual
hosting environment under SUEXEC.. Every reseller, every
customer of reseller, every domain on a machine has the
admin url of the server root domain. This is exposing the
customers of the resellers to the source of the hosting,
and is causing an uproar.. The server owners run suexec
for security, so, it's either expose the machine to hackers
by running mailman and others as root, or expose the
identity of the server owner to the customers of the resellers,
and there HAS to be a way to make mailman
run under suexec and still allow the url admin be the virtual
host, like it is without suexec!  
Please, is there any solution to this?
