Just FYI the abbove is EXACTLY eqiivalent to

VIRTUAL_HOSTS = {}
add_virtualhost('firstdomain.net', 'firstdomain.net')
add_virtualhost('seconddomain.com', 'seconddomain.com')
add_virtualhost('thirddomain.com', 'thirddomain.com')

I.e. all add_virtualhost() does is add an entry to the VIRTUAL_HOSTS
dictionary with key = the first arg and value = the second arg.

Actually, these conflict mildly with what you have. The issue is how
you want to access the web interface for these domains.
http://seconddomain.com/mailman/... or
http://www.seconddomain.com/mailman/... . If the former, you want what
you have now or what I indicated was equivalent. If the latter, you
want what you have immediately above, but you probably don't want both.

Yes, you need the above, but not necessarily in each <VirtualHost>
section. You can have it just once outside of the <VirtualHost>
sections.

The above 3 lines appear to do nothing.
