Normally, but not always, Postfix delivers to Mailman via aliases that look like: mailman: "|/path/to/mail/mailman post mailman" mailman-admin: "|/path/to/mail/mailman admin mailman" mailman-bounces: "|/path/to/mail/mailman bounces mailman" etc. for the mailman (site) list, and LISTNAME: "|/path/to/mail/mailman post LISTNAME" LISTNAME-admin: "|/path/to/mail/mailman admin LISTNAME" LISTNAME-bounces: "|/path/to/mail/mailman bounces LISTNAME" etc. for a list named LISTNAME, with a set for each list. With Postfix, these aliases can be automatically maintained by Mailman, but they may not be. In your case, delivery is not (totally) via aliases, because if it were, and you mailed to nol...@example.com, the NOLIST address would be undeliverable because there would be no alias for it. So I'm guessing you have some other delivery process involving a dedicated domain, e.g. lists.example.com, and mail to a non-existent nol...@lists.example.com address is delivered to mail...@lists.example.com instead of being rejected during SMTP. The first step would be to find the entries for mail to nol...@lists.example.com in Postfix's log (the system maillog?) and see how they are being delivered. This is probably a complex process involving Postfix's master.cf and main.cf and other components. Is this an Apple OS X server preinstalled Mailman? If so, this is an Apple issue. We will try to help, but may not be able to. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
