I have more information on this that explains why I was confused about the sequence of events for processing mail to a list. It is not going to listname-bounces but rather going to mailman-bounces. The message is addressed to listn...@mydomain.com but winds up going to mail...@mydomain.com instead. Why is the wrong list processing the incoming mail? How do I debug this? TIA.
