I don't doubt that... :) and I appreciate your help in fixing it.

Hmmm... well, all of the current lists have this alias for each list - 
so I'll need to be careful when changing this...

Hmm... maybe this is the easiest fix... this is currently (in 
Defaults.py) set to myhost.mydomain.com...

So, I should be able to just add:

add_virtualhost('web.mydomain.com', 'myhost.mydomain.com')

to mm_cfg.py and it should work for subsequent new lists?

Ok...

1. just one domain for list mail

2. just one domain for web access

3. it is a virtual domain in postfix, but it is the only one, and I 
don't see that changing.

Thanks again...
