Environment: MacOS X 10.6.8 server on Mac Mini, Mailman v2.1.14, as supplied 
with MacOS X. I have a main MX mail server (mail.bytesmiths.com) and a number 
of other domain names, all sharing the same static IP. I run my own DNS, with 
all domains pointing MX records to mail.bytesmiths.com. Each of these domains 
have one or more mailman lists that were working properly a few days ago.

I added a new list to one of the domains (ecoreality.org) using the Mailman web 
interface. Then all my lists stopped working, with error messages like:
        <list_that_belongs_to_another_dom...@bytesmiths.com>: user unknown

(I thought just the new one wasn't working, until someone forwarded me the 
reject notice they got when they tried to post to a list.)

/etc/postfix/main.cf refers to two mailman files:
        virtual_alias_maps = 
hash:/etc/postfix/virtual,hash:/var/mailman/data/virtual-mailman,hash:/etc/postfix/virtual_users
        alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases,hash:/var/mailman/data/aliases

I went into /var/mailman/data and noticed that "aliases" was newer than 
"aliases.db". So in what was perhaps a foolish shot in the dark, I did "postmap 
aliases" and "postmap virtual-mailman" to refresh the .db files, but to no 
avail.

I can still get in the admin pages for the lists I administer, and I'm still 
getting subscription notifications via web sign-up, but sending out through at 
least several of the lists I've tried all fail.

Any clues what I can do to fix this? I'm fairly competent and happy to be 
pointed in the right direction.

Thanks!
