Jim, thank you for your suggestion. Seem like my last resort...

Unfortunately I stumble in many problems with the second patch
(as already reported in another thread but didn't get response).

For example:

mailman at prodo mailman $ bin/withlist -l newsletter at mydomain.com
Loading list newsletter at mydomain.com (locked)
Unknown list: newsletter at mydomain.com
The variable `m' is the newsletter at mydomain.com MailList instance
>>>
mailman at prodo mailman $ bin/withlist -l newsletter
Loading list newsletter (locked)
Unknown list: newsletter
The variable `m' is the newsletter MailList instance
>>>

Both don't work. The web interface also doesn't work (at least
some pages don't).

Generally, maintaining tens of mailman instances seemed a bad idea,
but that remains my last resort (ohh if I knew earlier for this
limitation..)

Can anybody point me to a good reading about setting up multiple
mailman instances on the same machine?

Thanks in advance!
