-6.1.2 Virtual domains
-</H3>
-
-<P>
-Postfix 2.0 supports ``virtual alias domains'', essentially what used to be
-called ``Postfix-style virtual domains'' in earlier Postfix versions. To make
-virtual alias domains work with Mailman, you need to do some setup in both
-Postfix and Mailman. Mailman will write all virtual alias mappings to a file
-called, by default, <span class="file">/usr/local/mailman/data/virtual-mailman</span>. It will
-also use <b class="program">postmap</b> to create the <b class="program">virtual-mailman.db</b> file
-that Postfix will actually use.
-
-<P>
-First, you need to set up the Postfix virtual alias domains as described in
-the Postfix documentation (see Postfix's <code>virtual(5)</code> manpage). Note
-that it's your responsibility to include the <code>virtual-alias.domain
-anything</code> line as described manpage; Mailman will not include this line in
-<span class="file">virtual-mailman</span>. You are highly encouraged to make sure your virtual
-alias domains are working properly before integrating with Mailman.
-
-<P>
-Next, add a path to Postfix's <var>virtual_alias_maps</var> variable, pointing to
-the virtual-mailman file, e.g.:
-
-<P>
-<div class="verbatim"><pre>
- virtual_alias_maps = &lt;your normal virtual alias files&gt;,
- hash:/usr/local/mailman/data/virtual-mailman
-</pre></div>
-
-<P>
-assuming you've installed Mailman in the default location. If you're using an
-older version of Postfix which doesn't have the <var>virtual_alias_maps</var>
-variable, use the <var>virtual_maps</var> variable instead.
-
-<P>
-Next, in your <span class="file">mm_cfg.py</span> file, you will want to set the variable
-<var>POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS</var> to the list of virtual domains that Mailman
-should update. This may not be all of the virtual alias domains that your
-Postfix installation supports! The values in this list will be matched
-against the <var>host_name</var> attribute of mailing lists objects, and must be an
-exact match.
-
-<P>
-Here's an example. Say that Postfix is configured to handle the virtual
-domains <code>dom1.ain</code>, <code>dom2.ain</code>, and <code>dom3.ain</code>, and further
-that in your <span class="file">main.cf</span> file you've got the following settings:
-
-<P>
-<div class="verbatim"><pre>
- myhostname = mail.dom1.ain
- mydomain = dom1.ain
- mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain
- virtual_alias_maps =
- hash:/some/path/to/virtual-dom1,
- hash:/some/path/to/virtual-dom2,
- hash:/some/path/to/virtual-dom2
-</pre></div>
-
-<P>
-If in your <span class="file">virtual-dom1</span> file, you've got the following lines:
-
-<P>
-<div class="verbatim"><pre>
- dom1.ain IGNORE
- @dom1.ain @mail.dom1.ain
-</pre></div>
-
-<P>
-this tells Postfix to deliver anything addressed to <code>dom1.ain</code> to the
-same mailbox at <code>mail.dom1.com</code>, its default destination.
-
-<P>
-In this case you would not include <code>dom1.ain</code> in
-<var>POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS</var> because otherwise Mailman will write
-entries for mailing lists in the dom1.ain domain as
-
-<P>
-<div class="verbatim"><pre>
- mylist@dom1.ain mylist
- mylist-request@dom1.ain mylist-request
- # and so on...
-</pre></div>
-
-<P>
-The more specific entries trump your more general entries, thus breaking the
-delivery of any <code>dom1.ain</code> mailing list.
-
-<P>
-However, you would include <code>dom2.ain</code> and <code>dom3.ain</code> in
-<span class="file">mm_cfg.py</span>:
-
-<P>
-<div class="verbatim"><pre>
- POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['dom2.ain', 'dom3.ain']
-</pre></div>
-
-<P>
-Now, any list that Mailman creates in either of those two domains, will have
-the correct entries written to <span class="file">/usr/local/mailman/data/virtual-mailman</span>.
-
-<P>
-As above with the <span class="file">data/aliases*</span> files, you want to make sure that both
-<span class="file">data/virtual-mailman</span> and <span class="file">data/virtual-mailman.db</span> are user and
-group owned by <code>mailman</code>.
