It may. You probably need to have two domains (different virtual hosts), one for customers and one for employees. Then you can use Mailman's virtual host capability to separate the two virtual hosts. You can do this with a single Mailman instance, but only if you are willing to live with the restriction that all list names must be unique - i.e. you cant have the same list name in two different domains. This restriction will go away in Mailman 2.2, but currently if you want the same list name in two domains, you need two Mailman instances or some 3rd party patches. >2.

It is not difficult if you are a Python programmer, but there are several pieces that have to work together. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
