Here are the aliases on my server for the mailman list, with Postfix as
the MTA:

[localhost:~] westin% cat ~mailman/data/aliases | grep mailman-
mailman-loop: /usr/local/mailman/data/owner-bounces.mbox
mailman-admin:       "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman admin mailman"
mailman-bounces:     "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman bounces mailman"
mailman-confirm:     "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman confirm mailman"
mailman-join:        "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman join mailman"
mailman-leave:       "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman leave mailman"
mailman-owner:       "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman owner mailman"
mailman-request:     "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman request mailman"
mailman-subscribe:   "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe
mailman"
mailman-unsubscribe: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe
mailman"

Here are the aliases for the mailman list on another server that seems
to be having the problem, with sendmail as the MTA:

toad% cat mailman.aliases | grep mailman-
mailman-admin:        "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman admin mailman"
mailman-bounces:      "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman bounces mailman"
mailman-confirm:      "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman confirm mailman"
mailman-join:         "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman join mailman"
mailman-leave:        "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman leave mailman"
mailman-owner:        "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman owner mailman"
mailman-request:      "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman request mailman"
mailman-subscribe:    "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe
mailman"
mailman-unsubscribe:  "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe
mailman"

Are these wrong?  I'm including below the text of a sample message that
resulted from me simply sending a message to mailman-admin at my
domain, and the corresponding entries in my mail log.

Thanks for the help,

Greg

The attached message was received as a bounce, but either the bounce
format was not recognized, or no member addresses could be extracted
from it.  This mailing list has been configured to send all
