[Mailman-Users] Not able to send messages to lists I've setup

 Hi Jim,

I get the same error no matter where I send the message from. From
gmail, I get this:
Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

    test at email.winnefox.org

Technical details of failure:
PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 10): 550 <test at email.winnefox.org>: User
unknown in local recipient table

I'm running postfix on redhat 3.0AS server. I also have webmin running
on there. Going into the postfix area in there, under Mail Aliases, I
see this:

CREATED 	Address Wed
Address Dec
Address 1
Address 11:26:22
Address 2004
test 	Program /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post test
test-admin 	Program /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman admin test
test-bounces 	Program /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman bounces test
test-confirm 	Program /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman confirm test
test-join 	Program /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman join test
test-leave 	Program /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman leave test
test-owner 	Program /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman owner test
test-request 	Program /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman request test
test-subscribe 	Program /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe test
test-unsubscribe 	Program /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman
unsubscribe test

So, it appears as though all the aliases were created.

Actually, as far as mailman is concerned, it shouldn't be forwarding the
mail on. Since that's a local alias, it should be taking care of
everything itself. Shouldn't it? Is there something else I'm missing?
