The above is not necessary in 'usual' Postfix configurations. I.e., the aliases file contains things like mailman: "|/path/to/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman" So that a virtual mapping mail...@lists.example.org mailman says deliver mail originally To: mail...@lists.example.org to the local address 'mailman' and the alias says how to deliver that. Also, postmap is not complaining about the bare 'mailman' vs. 'mailman@localhost'. Even if that were generated as 'mailman@localhost', postmap would still complain because there are two entries for 'mail...@lists.example.org' > > ------------ end of file: mm_cfg.py ----------- > > What am I doing wrong? Nothing really. You have just discovered two bugs. First, the appending of VIRTUAL_MAILMAN_LOCAL_DOMAIN should also be applied in the SITE ADDRESSES stanza, and the addition of the SITE ADDRESSES stanza doesn't anticipate that the site list itself is in a virtual domain. I'll fix these bugs. In the mean time, you can try two things. Change the "Host name this list prefers for email." (host_name) attribute on the 'mailman' list's web admin General Options page from 'lists.example.org' to just 'example.org' and also try removing the VIRTUAL_MAILMAN_LOCAL_DOMAIN = 'localhost' line from mm_cfg.py. Then run Mailman's bin/genaliases. The first change will remove the 'mailman' list stanza from virtual-mailman and postmap will stop complaining, and the second change will remove the (I think unnecessary) @localhost appendages from all the local addresses. If it turns out for some reason that @localhost is required, you can restore that line to mm_cfg.py and run genaliases again. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
