Great idea, I didn't even think of that for some reason. I trie it, and it works great with no virtual aliasing to do. I'm still thinking which I would rather do. Locally is much easier to admin, but virtual is much more configurable to customize, and I can tighten it further on what accounts can pass. >> Is there an easier way to alias all of mailman's aliases, such as for >> admin, bounces, confirm, join, leave, owner, request, subscribe, >> unsubscribe? > > If you're going to use the virtual alias table interface, then I > don't see an easier way around this problem.
