Thanks for the advice; I found the *data directory* in /etc/mailman/,
along with the 'genaliases' produced files that I had been unable to
locate
So I reconfigured postfix with:
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/etc/mailman/aliases
(I know someone said above this wasn't needed)
AND
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual,
hash:/etc/mailman/virtual-mailman
So, now, at least email sent to the list server address
(disc...@cpddomain.org.au) seems to reach the mailserver, but the maillog
shows its rejected as an unknown user:
to=disc...@main-domain.au, orig_to=disc...@cpddomain.org.au,
relay=local, delay=0.09, delays=0.08/0.01/0/0.01, dsn=5.1.1,
status=bounced (unknown user: discuss)
Where 'discuss@cpddomain' is the list-server email address given in the
welcome email, but which seems to be reconfigured as an email addressed to
the main (non-virtual) domain on the system
I don't have a specific entry in my vmailbox file for
disc...@cpddomain.org.au...I didn't think that was needed
The other anomaly is that the relevant alias entries appear both in
/etc/mailman/aliases:

and in /etc/mailman/virtual-mailman:

# STANZA END: discuss
Hopefully a solution is not far away!

I should say the mailman version is 2.1.9, which was installed via an
'apt-get' command on a centos package.
Then I should say see the FAQ at http://wiki.list.org/x/OIDD.
In mm_cfg.py I have:
('cpddomain.org.au' is not the real domain name, but it is a virtual
one)
At present a subscriber can send a message to the list owner, but no
others, and the message does NOT have the expected Subject Line prefix
eg
[List name]
By addressing the owner's email or LISTNAME-owner@... ? Either way, the
lack of a subject_prefix is normal?

add_virtualhost('www.cpddomain.org.au', 'cpddomain.org.au')
POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['cpddomain.org.au']
MTA = 'Postfix'
Is the host_name attribute on the list's General Options page
cpddomain.org.au?
With MTA = 'Postfix' genaliases will write Mailman's data/aliases file
with 10 aliases for each list as in item 3 of the FAQ at
http://wiki.list.org/x/A4E9. In addition, it will write
data/virtual-mailman with virtual mapping for each list whose host_name
is cpddomain.org.au. It will also invoke the commands defined in the
Defaults.py settings
POSTFIX_ALIAS_CMD = '/usr/sbin/postalias'
POSTFIX_MAP_CMD = '/usr/sbin/postmap'
to create/update data/aliases.db and data/virtual-mailman.db. If you
don't see this, it's because the data directory is not in
/usr/lib/mailman/. See the FAQ at http://wiki.list.org/x/KYCB
