[Mailman-Users] Private archive nightmare with vhosts

Thank you sooo much!  Both of these patches worked perfectly and now i have a working, 
fully virtual mailman installation. This is not something i would've been able to figure out of my own. 
The only thing it complained about is --with-mail-gid. My previous installation attempts worked fine with 
--with-mail-gid=list, but this time it complained that it needs --with-mail-gid=nobody, but that was an easy fix.

Thanks again, Mark. I really appreciate your help and I am sure that many other users would 
benefit greatly from these 2 patches.
