[Mailman-Users] Maillist create error

[Johan Kok]

Could anybody help with the following error when I try to create a mailling list. THe implication is that the mailling list itself has been created within mailman but I presume that the Postfix is not configured for such

Bug in Mailman version 2.1.1
