I haven't started on the virtusertable yet, but the rest is just what's
needed (plus an MX record in the DNS).

As for mailman, after creating a list, just edit the "Host name this list
prefers for email" field.  (As long as you don't mind the fact that all
lists on all hosts share the same namespace, you are OK.  Otherwise, there
are hints for installing mailman multiple times.)
