brad,
as the error message below suggests, the alias is being expanded and an error occuring when mailman is processing the post script.
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
"|/public_html/mailman/mail/mailman post test" <<------ HERE
(reason: 1)
(expanded from: <[EMAIL PROTECTED] HIDDEN>)----- Transcript of session follows ----- post script, list not found: test <<------ AND HERE 554 5.3.0 unknown mailer error 1
the unknown mailer error 1 that is being reported is from mailman returning with a status of 1.
i also did a quick test of /etc/aliases and it is working normally.

thanks for the quick reply. i've compared the /etc/aliases entries for the new list with old ones that i've been running for years and don't see any difference. i even copied and pasted the entries below straight from mailman when i created the list.
Maybe your aliases file hasn't been rebuilt. Afterall, the /etc/aliases file is only used as input to build the database which is actually used by the MTA, and the database won't be updated until you run "newaliases" after changing the /etc/aliases file. Alternatively, perhaps the aliases file you're actually using is somewhere else, so changes to this file are not relevant anymore.
But both of these problems are specific to your MTA, not Mailman. You'd be better off using the resources which are dedicated to your MTA (and your platform) to help you track down these problems.
