[BLU/Officers] [SPAM] [SPAM] Re: [Officers] Question on postfix virtualization



Mailman is currently set up to maintain its own aliases. The only issues
I have is for the virtg lists. We set them up as virtg-<name>@virtg.com.
But we wanted them to be like board at virtg.com. So I do need to set up
some virtual mapping. BTW: On Pegasus, mailman was installed via YUM,
and the aliases are in /etc/mailman and mailman is in /usr/lib/mailman
and /var/lib/mailman (similar to the way they were on Rosetta). They are
working fine. The issue is translating <name>[-suffix]@virtg.com to
virtg-<name>[-suffix]@virtg.com or @blu.org. Mailman integrates well
into Postfix.
