You don't create users or mailboxes for Mailman's list addresses. This is handled by alias_maps, virtual_alias_domains, and virtual_alias_maps in Postfix, or, since this is Debian/Ubuntu, possibly by postfix_to_mailman.py. If you are following the Postfix section of <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mailman>, you have left something out, possibly you didn't add lists.example.com mailman: to the Postfix transport table, or possibly you are not mailing to the lists.example.com domain. See the installation Manual at <http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node12.html> and/or the Debian/Ubuntu specic documentation. You may also find the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/ZoCj> relevant. In order for this list to be of more help, we need more information including the contents of mm_cfg.py the output of postconf -n and possibly additional Postfix information such as the contents of or at least anything to do with Mailman from master.cf and the Postfix transport table. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
