Do you want the Email addresses for your lists to be 
<listname>@lists.example1.org, <listname>@lists.example2.org, etc?  This 
is what I think you're saying.

If what I've written above is indeed what you want, then the 
postfix_style_virtual_domains will need to include the "list." part, as 
these are the Email host part of the adress.

This sets the Email address to be <listname>@lists.example1.org (etc) and 
the web URL to be http://example1.org/...  Again, is this what you want?

You won't want this.  Relay_domains, as I understand them, are domains for 
which you *relay* mail, not domains you actually host on this host.

Again, you probably don't want your domains in mydestination if they're 
virtual.

All I have to do when adding a domain is add it to our database via 
postfixadmin, then edit mm_cfg.py and add a call to add_virtualhost() and 
also add it to POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS.  Pretty simple.

> newlist --urlhost=example4.org --emailhost=lists.example4.org list4

If you have the add_virtual_host items in mm_cfg.py, you should be able to 
just do:

newlist list4 at lists.example4.org

though I admit to usually using --urlhost and --emailhost anyway just to 
be sure.

HTH,
