[Mailman-Users] Muti-Mailman install

[adsarebad at gmail.com]

Well I finished my setup.  I have a Multi-Mailman install set up and 
working.  I have also wrote up a little writeup on how I did it.  If 
someone who knows mailman would look at it and tell me if I have done 
something wrong that would be nice.  Its at 
http://skagitattic.com/mailman.html

Thanks!


Also it seems clicking reply on a msg here does a off list reply. So all 
my previous reply`s were done off list.

Thanks for the idea of editing Postfix.py! However I could not seem to 
make it work without.

fun at domain.com              fun_domain at localhost

in virtual_mailman

Ya, I do want mailman going out of the same domain as "normal" email.

I was not able to get my mail to mailman without doing my own aliases.

That is a good idea however I was done with my editing of Postfix.py by 
then.   Now that its working I don`t want to spend the time to make a 
script to do what I want.
