I'm using the Mailman and postfix that came bundled with MacOS X 10.6 (Snow 
Leopard) on a Mac Mini Server.

I have problems adding new lists using the web interface. It's been a problem 
forever, but I've forgotten the magic fixes to magic files that I've done in 
the past to correct it.

I have a number of small non-profits that I host websites for, and each has one 
or more Mailman lists. I run my own DNS and MTA using the domain 
"bytesmiths.com". All these virtual domain lists were working, until I added a 
new list to one of them. It failed to accept the new mailman list address after 
adding the new list through the Mailman web interface.

So then I started poking around, and noticed the new list did not appear like 
other functioning lists in /var/mailman/data files. I carefully added the new 
list by editing "aliases" and "virtual-mailman" files that warned ominously "do 
not edit!" and ran newaliases(1). I verified that the .db files are newer than 
the edited text files.

Well, now NONE of my virtual domains work any more. They fail by redirecting to 
the base domain. For example, mail to new list "gl...@virtualdomain.org" -- 
previously working -- fails with a bounce that "gl...@bytesmiths.com" doesn't 
exist.

Rather than deluge you with config files and error logs, I thought I'd post the 
symptoms first, to see if anyone could point me in the right direction, or 
could request specific config/log info.

My gratis "customers" are being very understanding, given the vast amounts they 
are paying me, but needless to say, I'd like to get them back up ASAP!

Does anyone know what's going on, and how to fix it? What additional 
information can I provide?

Thanks in advance for any advice offered!
