I have a new Mailman implementation connected to Postfix which is in turn connected to Dovecot. These two components are working correctly, as I have mailboxes set up with them and have created a test Mailman mailing list and received confirmation that it has in fact been created. Now I'm attempting to subscribe a test user in the normal way, by sending an email to {list-name}-subscribe@MyDomain.com. I have not received a subscription confirmation, but the following information from /var/log/mailman/error shows a problem:

gate_news runs every 5 minutes. do you see this error every 5 minutes? Have you run Mailman's bin/check_perms?
In any case, issues with gate_news only affect gating from usenet of those lists that have Mail<->News gateways -> gateway_to_mail = Yes.
I also receive messages like these about every fifteen minutes in /var/log/mailman/bounce:
Jul 02 14:42:12 2015 (1308) post to mailman from mailman-owner@{my-domain.com}, size=1736, message-id=<mailman.53.1435726803.13146.mailman@{my-domain.com}>, 1 failures Jul 02 14:42:16 2015 (1308) post to mailman from mailman-owner@{my-domain.com}, size=1733, message-id=<mailman.98.1435726804.13146.mailman@{my-domain.com}>, 1 failures
Mailman is sending a notice to the 'mailman' list and it's undeliverable. That doesn't look like a 'bounce' log message. It looks more like 'post' log. What's in the 'smtp-failure' log?
Thanks in advance for any assistance. I suspect it's something I've overlooked.
Yes. What's in the Postfix logs for these failures and for the message sent to {list-name}-subscribe@MyDomain.com?
The most common issue here is you are using the Dovecot LDA and it doesn't know how to deliver to Mailman. If you are using aliases to deliver to Mailman, you have to ensure that mail to Mailman is handles by the Postfix 'local' LDA, not Dovecot. See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/10715238> for a way to do this.
