As far as Mailman is concerned, there is no difference. GNU-Mailman 2.1.x can handle list addresses in multiple domains with the restriction that the list names themselves must be globally unique. In Mailman, in some contexts the various domains are referred to as 'virtual', but they can be thought of as simply domains or host names. The difference comes about in the MTA and perhaps the web server. In Postfix for example, some domains may be local and some virtual. The local domain Mailman addresses can be delivered to Mailman via aliases only. The virtual domain Mailman addresses need some kind of virtual address mapping as well. Sometimes the choice of local vs virtual for a domain in Postfix can be somewhat arbitrary. What it boils down to is if delivery to local_part@domain_1.example.net should be handled differently from delivery to local_part@local_domain.example.com, then domain_1.example.net needs to be virtual. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
