Are you scanning mailing list messages twice, before and after a mailing list manager? This is wasteful, and redundant. Configure the ML sw to send its fan-out mail directly to MTA, e.g. to an unfiltered port 10025 (i.e. the same port to which amavisd feeds its checked mail). With mailman for example, one could do (in Mailman/mm_cfg.py): SMTPHOST = 'localhost' SMTPPORT = 10025 > @local_domains_maps = ( [qw( . )] ); Don't do that (except for short troubleshooting periods), for an increasing number of reasons. Your domains should be listed explicitly. The '.' wildcard causes all mail to be treated as incoming or internal-to-internal, which affects some decisions.
