Your domain can be any one of your domains. Your hostname should not 
match anything in your virtual file. When you set your origin use the 
hostname and not the domain. That'll make things less likely to screw up.

That how-to you're following sucks unless you're dead set on giving all 
accounts virtual mailman support. I can't say mine is written any 
better, but it will give you a much better system when you're done. 
Manually adding users via raw SQL will annoy you to no end after two weeks.

kashani, thinking it's time to go freshen up his how-to again.
