List parameter "host" should be abolished about sympa HOT 2 CLOSED

• Another con: In addition, when a virtual host domain changes, these list-specific host parameters are not changed. Thus leading to confusion and errors.
• Another pro: when hosting lists behind another frontend than Sympa (I did it with zimbra), you can have a virtual lists domain (lists.example.com) that's only used in enveloppes and a visible list domain (example.com) that's the same as the frontend domain, making all addresses (lists and people) appear in the same domain. In that case, the list host parameter is example.com when the virtual host parameter is lists.example.com.

So indeed, implementation is harder with this parameter but it has its use cases. Before removing this parameter, we should think about whether replacements exist for the current instances using it.
