The Mailman part of it is very simple and easily reversed.

In Defaults.py you have

DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'www.example.com'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'mail.example.com'

where the domains are yours or ??

There is also a

#####
# Virtual domains
#####

section which you should read and which contains

add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)


Those lines may be repeated in mm_cfg.py with the same or different
domain names.

The sole change to Mailman is to add

add_virtualhost('www2.example.com', 'mail2.example.com')

to mm_cfg.py where the actual domain names are those of the second
domain.

You will also need to set up the web server and MTA for the second
domains.

Then you can create lists in the second domain with bin/newlist (see
bin/newlist --help) or by visiting the mailman/create page from the
second domain.
