If Postfix continues to run on the Mailman server, make no changes to this Postfix or to Mailman. If I understand correctly, the issue is that incoming list mail is now routed (via a DNS MX record) to a different server. What to do depends on a few things. Is list.mydomain.com a dedicated domain such that all mail to that domain should be delivered to the Mailman server? Is the Mailman server accessible from the outside world? If both answers are yes, just make the MX record for list.mydomain.com point to the Mailman server. If the domain is dedicated, but the server is not accessible from outside, use a transport_maps entry on the mail server to relay all mail to the list.mydomain.com domain to the mailman server. If both answers are no, you will need to tell the mail server to relay all the list addresses to the Mailman server via transport_maps on the mail server. The FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/ZoCj> may help you with generating the transport maps on the Mailman server, but they will still have to be updated on the mail server whenever lists are added or deleted on the Mailman server. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
