mailman and virtualdomains

Hi,

i've got a problem with creating a new mailing list with the name 'newsletter'.
mailman says that the list exists already

that's true, but under another domain and another client account in plesk 8.1.

so here's the question: is not possible anymore to configure more than one list with the same name under different domains?

Like that:
mailing list 1 = newsletter@domainA.com
mailing list 2 = newsletter@domainB.com

I see a tips here :
http://forum.swsoft.com/showthread.php? ... +same+name

Scott, what do you think about it ?
Maybe you have the same for FC5 / Plesk 8.1 ?

If I try it, I think I can break my mailman (Not because I'm scared, because I'm not lucky these last days ... and because I use 2.1.9, and not 2.1.5 like on this page ...).

If there was enough interest I might do one. I wonder if that patch is in the FC6 version, that'd make it a lot easier to support.

Hi,

Finally I think I've a ... "big" problem !

This error happen when I try to create a news mailing list and a new mailbox, with the same name on two different domains.

Creating new mailbox :

mailbox 1: noc@domainA.com
mailbox 2: noc@domainB.net

Error : The mail name noc is already in the domain.

That's happens when I try to create mailbox 2... but that's false !! there is no mailbox on domainB.net ...

I've got the same for mailing lists !
Like :

mailing list 1 = newsletter@domainA.com
mailing list 2 = newsletter@domainB.com

Strange, no ?

Anyone have same problem ?

Maybe I need vpopmail ? I'm lost ...

in plesk I go to : Server -> Mail -> "Names for POP3/IMAP mail accounts"

And I've chosed "Only use of full POP3/IMAP mail accounts names is allowed" last day.
Today I change it again, to have setup default :
"Use of short (webmaster) and full (webmaster@domain.com) POP3/IMAP mail account names is allowed"

But it don't solve the problem ...

I'm not very lucky ^^

How can I set php (and other deamons - like qmail) to log action (when I create mailbox) ? Maybe if I do that, I can see where is my problem ...

I've deleted my domain, an create it again...

Now same user@mailbox on different domains are working... Some days, I hate plesk

But I always get problem for mailing list :
mailing list 1 = newsletter@domainA.com
mailing list 2 = newsletter@domainB.com

I think I'll test mailman patch ... or maybe another user of ART had something to tell me ?

Mailman by default is not designed for virtual hosting environments, so unless you modify the code, you cant have multiple lists with the same name

ok ...
Bad news ... but why plesk use mailman ?

I think plesk was used to manage a lot of domains... and the mailing list manager wich Plesk use didn't support virtual domains ?

maybe it's possible, in Plesk, to change mailman for using ezmlm ? But I think swsoft didn't make it possible ...

Because mailman comes with the OS, ezmlm doesnt

I find a solution, I post it here for other user :

Grab mailman-vh-2.1.7.patch from http://nix.lauft.net/mailman/ , it applies
fine to 2.1.9.
I'll try it next 48h ...

I've patched mailman. Virtual Host don't seem to work, anyway mailman run witouth errors ... I'll work on it, and if I found anything new, I'll post it here ...

Maybe usefull for someone else
