>From Mailmans README.INSTALL:

Problem:  I send mail to the list, and get back mail saying,
          "unknown mailer error".

Solution: The likely problem is that you are using the wrong GID or
          UID for mail.  Check your syslog.  If you see, for
          example, a line like:

          Attempt to exec script with invalid gid 51, expected 99

          You need to reinstall Mailman, and specify $MAIL_GID to
          be 51, as described in the installation
          instructions. see notes on Postfix below, as by default
          it will create these problems on installation.

This should be mainly a question of configuring your MTA.  There's currently
a discussion about virtual domains in this mailing list, which might help
you.
