We do it using one vhost that has many ServerAliases, with a single Sympa 
install; there is a single certificate, but it has many altnames, one for 
each robot domain.  So, we have to re-create the certificate each time that 
we add a new list domain (fortunately this is a rare occurrence, and does not 
cost us anything to do)

As other people have pointed out, you should be able to do some magic with 
SetEnvIf to match the first part of the URL path and save it to the HTTP_HOST 
env var, overriding the one set by the vhost, and have it work that way.  The 
various wwwsysmpa.conf and robot.conf file should allow you to override the 
relevant default sympa URL bases.
