Thanks for the help. I have double-checked my postfix configuration to make sure it is like yours, but my mail to the list still bounces. mail.log looks like this when I try to send a message to the list (in this case named mail...@augusta.net):

I can send mail to other users fine with <name>@augusta.net. Thanks for any further assistance! Sorry for the newbish questions.
