Your Mailman is misconfigured. If you want to mail to your list at
[EMAIL PROTECTED], the domain of your list should be mydomain.com
and 'mydomain.com' should be in the POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS
list. Also, if 'mydomain.com' is not DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST, you should
have
add_virtualhost('web.example.com', 'mydomain.com')
in mm_cfg.py. With these settings, creating newlist from the
http://web.example.com/mailman/create page will create that list with
a host_name of mydomain.com and will create the virtual mapping from
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to local newlist and you won't need the mysql
alias.
The details of how to set all this up depend on whether or not you have
more than one domain for mailman list mail and more than one domain
for mailman web access and whether or not the mail domains are virtual
or local in postfix. If you tell us what you have, we can be more
specific about what you need.
