[Mailman-Users] List creation role per virtual domain?

Hello,

I am setting up Mailman 2.1b1 at a server, where each user gets an
account and a subdomain of the server domain. So, suppose the server
is called server.domain.com, a user joe gets an account "joe" and is
assigned the domain joe.domain.com. Joe has a home page
http://joe.domain.com and may send and receive mail on
<aliases of choice>@joe.domain.com.

Further, Joe may create and maintain one or more mailing lists at
joe.domain.com. Ideally, joe should enter his account password at the
list creation web page, in order to be able to create a list.

With the multi-domain functionality of Mailman 2.1b1, a user may
moderate his lists and change the lists configurations. List creation
is however a central role, so each user has to ask the server admin
to create a list for him, which does not scale very much. Am I
overlooking a feature, or should I create a wrapper script around
the create CGI script and adjust the list creation web page to get
the desired result?

Thanks very much.

Cheers,

Jan Stap

Raises an interesting point. Is it feasible for an individual user have strip
mime where other users, as a preference, don't want it?

I've run into the problem where some of my recipients are have their email
blocked by employers because of this issue. Personally I come from the plain
text school of thought.

I don't own the server, but I have my own domain name and own IP and the usual
100 Meg..

Apparently Mailman is common to all users and I'm given to understand strip mime
would affect others who didn't want it.
