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.

It is just an idea. :-) > REDIRECT_URL properly set during a 404 events I'm not sure about what you want to mean with this. > CGI Yes > works with mailman Yes, http://www.0x50.org and http://www.alobbs.com have mailman running under Cherokee.
