Curiouser and curiouser. First, thanks, this provided a clue for a fix. Second, both old and new servers used the same postfix main.cf and master.cf files. Both main.cf files had this line: mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost which shouldn't have worked since (1) $mydomain wasn't defined anywhere and (2) domain.tld wasn't invoked and (3) mail never was addressed to localhost.$mydomain. On the new server I changed this to: mydomain = domain.tld mydestination = $myhostname, $mydomain, localhost and now list mail goes to either <listname>@mail.domain.tld or <listname>domain.tld, as desired. Puzzling, but thanks again. dn ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
