[Mailman-Users] Postfix and Mailman ...

[Christopher Koeber]

Also, in additional to my question on whether the transport can be rules
based I am wondering if it is possible to switch everything to the local
transport but still support virtual domains.

This is necessary for my setup.

Thank you for your time.

Regards,

Christopher Koeber
