[Mailman-Users] Postfix + mailman - will not connect

Hi there

(sorry if repeated question; I have been in the README.POSTFIX, 
the archive for this month and the FAQ).

I just added a Red Hat 9 box with a home-build 
Postfix postfix-2.0.13 + a mailman-2.1-8 RPM fra Red Hat 9.
(I have also tried the 2.1.2 from Red Hat cooker)

My situation is that Postfix works fine - my own aliases in the 
mailman aliases file works fine, I can run add new mailman lists
with "newlist" - I can access the lists perfectly through the 
webinterface.

Note that the mail that should have been generated at the end of
me using "newlist" never ends at my place.


I have added this to mm_cfg.py
>>>>>>
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'MYSERVER.dk'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'www.MYSERVER.dk'

DEFAULT_ADMIN_NOTIFY_MCHANGES = 1
DEFAULT_SUBSCRIBE_POLICY = 3

MTA = 'Postfix'
POSTFIX_ALIAS_CMD = '/usr/sbin/postalias'
POSTFIX_MAP_CMD = '/usr/sbin/postmap'

unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550
<<<<<<

Assume that I have made the list "dudez at MYSERVER.dk" with mailman.
using "newlist dudez pto at linuxbog.dk MY_SECRET_PASSWORD"
(I have checked the aliases-file is fine and the aliases.db-file is
generated)

My big problem is that if I write to dudez at MYSERVER.dk I never 
get any reply - the same with dudez-request at MYSERVER.dk.
Though the webinterface I have tried to invite my own email-address,
but no mails end at my place :-((

/var/log/mailman/error shows no errors when making a maillist
and trying to mail to it :-(

My maillog indicates that mails gets to the server
Jul 24 01:37:12 linuxforum postfix/local[19661]: 6C630271E3:
to=<dudez-subscribe at MYSERVER.dk>, relay=local, delay=0, status=sent
("|/var/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe dudez")

I have also checked that "Defaults.py" reads
 SMTPHOST = 'localhost'
 SMTPPORT = 0
 DELIVERY_MODULE = 'SMTPDirect'

My /etc/hosts also has
127.0.0.1               localhost

I can do "telnet localhost 25" and send an email.

My question to you is how to debug this?
I am stuck....
