Hello all: I am helping Steve work on the mailman and postfix setup on the new server.
Here is what is actually happening: When I send an email directly to a user that exists in the alias or mailbox table with [email protected] postfix delivers the email just fine. Now when I send an email to a mailman list such as [email protected] I get no message back. When I look in the maillog file I see an error that says user unknown [email protected]. When I send a message to [email protected] mailman picks up the message and delivers it just fine. In mm_cfg.py I added the following lines after mailman was installed: MTA = 'Postfix' POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['theglobalvoice.info'] I added the references to the aliases and virtual-mailman files in main.cf for postfix like so: Alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/usr/local/mailman/data/aliases Virtual_alias_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_alias_maps.cf, hash:/usr/local/mailman/data/virtual-mailman I installed mailman by compiling its source code. I ran configure with the following options: ./configure --with-mailhost=theglobalvoice.info --with-urlhost=www.theglobalvoice.info I did copy the lists over from the old server and ran bin/withlist -r -a -l fix_url. That script ran with out any errors. I ran bin/genaliases and it created the aliases and virtual-mailman files. Is there anything else I need to look at? I administer a server for ACB and I have the same setup and it works fine. The only major difference between the server administer and the one that Steve administers is I am running Ubuntu 12.04 lts and he is running fedora20. I don't think it matters but thought I would share that bit of information in case there is something with the OS I need to check out. Thanks.

My MX record is called "mail," but > should that affect Mailman? Where exactly do you see this? Is it in the list's admin General Options -> host_name and the list posting address on the list's listinfo page? If so, you can change the host_name and verify things like DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST and add_virtualhost email hosts in mm_cfg.py and maybe run fix_url. See <http://wiki.list.org/x/4030616>.
