   Of course it can. But you need to then re-set _other_ variables, since
they are based on its value, in something of a cascading fashion:

# rc.custom changes for different domain
domain=mynewdomain.tld
listmaster=listmaster@$domain	# I cheat and hard-code this per-list
listaddr=$list@$domain
listreq=$list-request@$domain
listdist=$list-dist@$domain
sendmailOPT="-oem -odb -oi -om -f$listreq"
# end rc.custom changes for different domain

   I do this routinely, running many domains out of one SmartLinst install. I
actually added (in commented fashion) the above to the top of
~/.etc/rc.custom, so newly-created lists have the data already included
should I need it.
