mailman without virtual domains
Greetings.
I'm installing mailman 2.1.14 onto an Ubuntu server that previously had mailman 2.1.13 installed, and it looks like the 2.1.13 install left some virtual domain artifacts behind, namely:
/etc/postfix/transport, containing:
[my system's hostname] mailman:
... and the usual postifix transport lines in master.cf:
mailman unix - n n - - pipe flags=FR user=list argv=/usr/local/mailman/bin/postfix-to-mailman.py ${nexthop} ${user}
I currently have no need for virtual domains, but was wondering:
Is there any advantage besides being able to trivially enable virtual domains, to maintaining a separate transport for mailman?
What is the default transport that should be used by mailman 2.1.14 if no virtual domains are needed -- smtp?
Thanks.

postfix_to_mailman.py http://www.gurulabs.com/downloads/postfix-to-mailman-2.1.py is a third party script officially unsupported by the GNU Mailman project. It is used by Debian/Ubuntu and they may or may not provide support for its use.
It isn't virtual domain support per se. It is designed to be used where all Mailman lists on a server are in a single domain (often lists.example.com) that has few if any local user addresses.

Postfix local delivery together with aliases, the generation of which can be automated. See http://www.list.org/mailman-install/postfix-integration.html.
