You probably need to run fix_url for the list, but that's not the first
step. See below.

I'm not really familiar with Postfix, but see
<http://www.list.org/mailman-install/postfix-virtual.html> and the
other material in that section of the manual.

In mm_cfg.py you need to set/add the following (see Defaults.py for
documentation)

MTA = Postfix
POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS
add_virtualhost('url_hostname', 'email_hostname')

If the Defaults.py settings

POSTFIX_ALIAS_CMD = '/usr/sbin/postalias'
POSTFIX_MAP_CMD = '/usr/sbin/postmap'

aren't correct, override them in mm_cfg.py

Perhaps you are OK as is with apache then. If you put the
add_virtualhost() in mm_cfg.py and run fix_url to set the domain2 list
to 'domain2', that list should 'move to' the domain2 listinfo and
admin overview pages.
