The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Edward Kovarski <address@concealed>]

Pat,

If I fully understand your question, you simply want to present the  
mailing lists consistently without revealing the physical host it runs  
on?

If that is the case, yes, we run a similar setup by simply setting the  
domain in the robot configuration to what we want the outside world to  
see.

We also use Postfix's virtual and transport tables to then properly  
route incoming messages to the host and sympa processes.
