[Mailman-Users] postfix and mailman issues

Hi Mike,

     The "VirtualDomain.org IGNORE" line can be in /etc/postfix/virtual.


     What happens if you add @localhost to the end of a line in 
/usr/local/mailman/data/virtual-mailman,, then run postalias on it:
listname at VirtualDomain.org listname at localhost


     This is kind of a stab in the dark RE: Postfix's MyDestination being 
appended to the end of the right side of the virtual map  when it has no 
host part.  I may be able to experiment with this later on a box with a 
test list.


Thanks - Ivan.
