I have about 100 mailing lists all using the domain name tunedinweb.com. All
the commands to subscribe, etc, come to someth...@tunedinweb.com which come
to my server and are processed by mailman. 

 

But I also have real email boxes @tunedinweb.com. Those are hosted off my
server. So in order to make both mailman and my email work I have postfix
configured with tunedinweb.com listed in the mydomains file, but have setup
a transport file to tell postfix to redirect any email for
someth...@tunedinweb.com to the server where that email is hosted. With
lines in transport that look like this:

 

st...@tunedinweb.com            smtp:mx.emailsrvr.com

ste...@tunedinweb.com           smtp:mx.emailsrvr.com

 

This is all working fine.

 

The issue is that my email address st...@tunedinweb.com is also a member of
several mailing lists. When mailman tries to send to st...@tunedinweb.com I
see this error message in the postfix log /var/log/maillog:

 

Jun  6 17:02:08 166941-web1 postfix/smtpd[25836]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from
localhost[127.0.0.1]: 550 5.1.1 <st...@tunedinweb.com>: Recipient address
rejected: User unknown in local recipient table;
from=<tunedin-temp-bounces+steve=tunedinweb....@tunedinweb.com>
to=<st...@tunedinweb.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<166941-web1.tunedinweb.com>

 

So it seems that mailman is not respecting the /etc/postfix transport file
settings. I want mailman to send mail for those addresses specified in the
transport file to the server where that email is hosted. 

 

I must be missing something. Can someone explain what is going wrong.  

Thanks again for your help.
