newlist --emailhost does not create virtual aliases in virtual-mailman

[Chris Miller]

Version mailman-2.1.14

With the virtual URL and domain already configured in mm_cfg.py (below), running newlist with --emailhost and --urlhost does not populate the virtual-mailman specific aliases. Adding the list via a browser using the virtual URL results in the expected behavior. It would seem that the browser based method is doing something differently.

mm_cfg.py

MTA = 'Postfix'
POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['example.com']
add_virtualhost('lists.example.com', 'example.com')

Does the list get created with host_name attribute equal to the --emailhost argument?

If so, I don't see how this can occur because the code in Mailman/MTA/Postfix.py looks only at whether the list's host_name is in POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS in deciding whether to create virtual-mailman entries.

If not, what is the exact bin/newlist command you give and what is the host_name of the created list?

Mark,
   the POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS did not contain the subdomain for this list, just the base domain. I tested after correcting and everything works as expected. Sorry for the false alarm. Thanks for the prompt response.
