Whew... you pretty much nailed it. Its been so long since I set this up - and its been working so well - that I had completely forgotten how I did this, but I remember now, and you're right, I did manually create those aliases. :) > The only problem with this is the listname listinfo page, list welcome > messages, etc all say post to listn...@myhost.example.com No problem, since I'm going to fix this up now, thanks to you... :) > It would be better to just have the email domain as example.com and > have > > POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['example.com'] > > so mailman creates the virtual-mailman.

Now I'm not sure whether that is even necessary. I read it, and don't think it is... it seems to be just a different way to do the same thing, but is much more complicated (and therefore more room for breakage)... > Clearly my understanding of Postfix is not complete.

Yes: # postmap -q example.com mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_vmd.cf Example Primary Domain Ok, so, now that we know how/why the current setup works, can you confirm the steps to fix it properly as: 1. Stop postfix 2. Stop mailman 3. Make these changes to mm_cfg.py: MTA = 'Postfix' DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'example.com' DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'lists.example.com' POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = 'example.com' VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear() add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST) 4. Run $prefix/bin/withlist -l -a -r fix_url to fix all existing lists 5. Run $prefix/bin/genaliases 6. Delete the listna...@example.com > listna...@myhost.example.com alias mappings from the mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_vam.cf db 7. Start mailman 8. Start postfix ?
