Postfix can be configured to reject mail if the receipient is not local. You have this configuration setting in effect. I suspect your problem is that you don't include $alias_maps in the local_recipient_maps parameter in postfix's main.cf. This is very clearly documented in the comments in main.cf and the LOCAL_RECIPIENTS_README file that is part of the postfix distribution and available on www.postfix.org. You need the alias_maps because that is where you've defined mailman's email addresses. -- John Dennis [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp
