Hello all,
I am relatively new on postfix, my server atm is on qmail but since
I had it confgured to use vpomail and its support has been dropped by
courier I decided to move it to postfix-dovecot with virtual on
mysql(thats just as background).now to my postfix, I m running it on
slackware 12.2, at the moment the mail server is up and running I can
send and receive e-mail from my domains and have webmail set up (decied
to go for roundcube had squirrel on qmail) now the problem ...on qmail I
did use ezmlm as mailing list manager ... for postfix I decided to go
with Mailman.
Mailman is installed ( I even setup mysql db but disabled them for
the sake of debugging) my server does accept mail for the virtual
mailbox (ml...@mymlistdomain.com) and his command mailbox BUT and this
is the problem it deliver them to my first and default virtual domain
(firstdomain.com) as I find the mailbox cretated there and the log show
them being delivered ...... so pratically the e-mail directed to
ml...@mymlistdomain.com get directed to ml...@firstdomain.com and
delivered AND there it stop ... mail doesn't go to subscribers and
command request don't reply to subscribers .... if I use the web
interface to massively add users ... they get the welcome e-mail ( so
smtp is working as intended).
I read all the mailman documentation related to postfix like this
one for example
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2002-September/022374.html,
though I may be missing something obvious , now these are my config file :

What is it unclear to me expecially after reading all the documentation is :
Are Postfix Style virtual Domain necessary with my setup ??
To my understanding I setup my server to have only Virtual domain ... (
having mydestination set to localhost should default all domain to
virtual ) is it ok with postfix ??
And last but first ... is there any documentation I did skip and I
should read about mailman integration with postfix ???
Thank you in advance for your time
