This list is for any and all Mailman users. No apologies required.

If I understand correctly, the easiest solution is to make all the
domains local in Postfix. I.e. in main.cf, if for example you have

myhostname = domain1.info

you could put

mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost,
    domain2.info, domain3.info, domain4.info, domain5.info


Then, assuming you have aliases for all the lists, this should work.


In any case, you should also have in mm_cfg.py (assuming the web domain
corresponding to the email domain domain1.info is www.domain.info)

add_virtualhost(www.domain1.info, domain1.info)
add_virtualhost(www.domain2.info, domain2.info)
add_virtualhost(www.domain3.info, domain3.info)
add_virtualhost(www.domain4.info, domain4.info)
add_virtualhost(www.domain5.info, domain5.info)

This is to facilitate creating lists in the proper domain from the web.

If you want some of these domains to be "virtual" in Postfix, it's a
bit more involved. If you let us know exactly what the requirement is,
we can help with that too.
