  No, it isn't supported.  At this moment you can define different kinds
of error handler and you can use different actions for each error code,
but it is virtual server wide.

  I didn't imagine that could be a requirement for somebody.

  Anyway, you could add a php as error handler, and do different thing
based in the referer.. It is just an idea. :-)

  Yes, http://www.0x50.org and http://www.alobbs.com have mailman
running under Cherokee. It works perfectly.

  I don't understand this requirement.  What do you want to do with that
header?

  It isn't supported, but seems to be a 5 minutes long hack in
handler_cgi. :-)

  I hope so!

  At this moment the only resource is the configuration example files
that are distributed with the source tarball.  I know we have to start
distributing a more friendly documentation..
