Yeah.

Yes, it is. I can send mail from that box out just fine. Plus, subscribe
confirmation emails are being sent ok.

Where is that file located? I checked in webmin, and those aliases do
exist under postfix.

I first sent a message from my user account on that machine, which is
what you see below from the log. A few minutes later, I tried sending a
message to that list again. The maillog doesn't show anything for that.
It seems like it never actually gets to postfix.
