It's really annoyed me that I can't create a list alias domain, like lists.omnifarious.org and still be able to refuse mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
So, I created a small patch to Mailman.MTA.Postfix that allows you to specify a prefix to be applied to all virtually hosted lists that show up in the omnifarious.org domain. For example, I have set this prefix to 'mmlist_'. This is what my virtual-mailman file now looks like: # STANZA START: list-name # CREATED: Thu May 27 08:00:48 2004 [EMAIL PROTECTED] mmlist_list-name [EMAIL PROTECTED] mmlist_list-name-admin [EMAIL PROTECTED] mmlist_list-name-bounces [EMAIL PROTECTED] mmlist_list-name-confirm [EMAIL PROTECTED] mmlist_list-name-join [EMAIL PROTECTED] mmlist_list-name-leave [EMAIL PROTECTED] mmlist_list-name-owner [EMAIL PROTECTED] mmlist_list-name-request [EMAIL PROTECTED] mmlist_list-name-subscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] mmlist_list-name-unsubscribe # STANZA END: list-name And, here is what my aliases file looks like: # STANZA START: list-name # CREATED: Thu May 27 08:00:48 2004 mmlist_list-name: "|/var/list-name/mail/list-name post list-name" mmlist_list-name-admin: "|/var/list-name/mail/list-name admin list-name" mmlist_list-name-bounces: "|/var/list-name/mail/list-name bounces list-name" mmlist_list-name-confirm: "|/var/list-name/mail/list-name confirm list-name" mmlist_list-name-join: "|/var/list-name/mail/list-name join list-name" mmlist_list-name-leave: "|/var/list-name/mail/list-name leave list-name" mmlist_list-name-owner: "|/var/list-name/mail/list-name owner list-name" mmlist_list-name-request: "|/var/list-name/mail/list-name request list-name" mmlist_list-name-subscribe: "|/var/list-name/mail/list-name subscribe list-name" mmlist_list-name-unsubscribe: "|/var/list-name/mail/list-name unsubscribe list-name" # STANZA END: list-name Yes, people can still send to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but I consider that an acceptable tradeoff since I'm now allowed a lot more detailed control over my omnifarious.org namespace. The parameter's name is POSTFIX_VIRTUAL_PREFIX, and it's expected to be set in the mm_cfg file. If there is no POSTFIX_VIRTUAL_PREFIX set, it defaults to being blank, which gives you the original behavior for the Postfix MTA. Have fun (if at all possible), -- The best we can hope for concerning the people at large is that they be properly armed. -- Alexander Hamilton -- Eric Hopper ([EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.omnifarious.org/~hopper) --
