Thanks for your continued help Mark! Sorry for the untidy list usage. When I first subscribed to this list about a month and a half ago I set my subscription to digest mode, but it seems the password I have stored in my password manager is incorrect, so I can't set it off, which has not been helpful for this discussion obviously. Thank you for bearing with me!
In my /etc/postfix/main.cf file I indeed had both virtual_alias_maps and transport_maps set to my /.../mailman/var/data/postfix_lmtp file. I removed the virtual_alias_map setting and tried again, and did in fact get some encouraging behavior. After that, sending mail to mail...@augusta.net did not bounce, and indeed did make it to the list, but the list was unable to send mail to users subscribed to the list. I looked in the mail.log again and saw: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from localhost[127.0.0.1]: 550 5.1.1 < tho...@augusta.net>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table; ... After some searching around, I found that the transport maps settings sometimes don't work and it's better to use aliases. So I removed the local_recipients_maps and relay_domains lines, and mapped the alias_maps and alias_database lines to my /.../mailman/var/data/postfix_lmtp files in my main.cf file. I also removed the mailman lines in master.cf (the ones that look like this: mailman unix - n n - - pipe flags=FR user=list argv=/usr/lib/mailman/bin/postfix-to-mailman.py ## ${nexthop} ${user} _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
