list request alias doesn't seem to work

Another strange problem.
Although messages to the list seem to pass just fine, there's a problem with messages sent to the request alias, <listname>-request@mydomain.tld
These msgs do arrive on the server but aren't processed by MailMan. Searched the MailMan logs but found nothing. Any ideas?

Please, Please, read the README.POSTFIX
Some MTA's intercept the "-request" aliases, as well as a few others. Look in the configuration of your MTA. It's a common problem.

Are you refering to the owner_request_special var? It was set to no like the readme advizes.

So what does the MTA log say it is doing with incoming mail to the listname-request aliases?

It seems to deliver the mail just fine.
Jul 1 16:55:28 patah postfix/local[18728]: [ID 197553 mail.info] 0918C7B70B: to=<test-request@lists.belnet.be>, relay=local, delay=1, status=sent ("|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman request test")
BTW, the MTA is indeed postfix. When I was experiencing these delivery problems the load of the machine wass higher then normal.
