[Mailman-Users] Pls help debug mm-postfix disconnect. Thanks.

[Patrick Bogen]

I don't know postfix very well, but the points that I'd look at are:
Is a newline and whitespace the proper separate for separate entries
in alias_maps, virtual_alias_domains, and virtual_alias_maps?
Are the permissions on alias_maps correct?
Is dev.greenparty.ca resolving correctly on the mail host (I don't
know if this even matters, but may as well check, yes?)?
Do the mailman logs show anything interesting?

I created this one in January, my test posts show up in the online archives.  But no mail seems to be getting off the server -- from this mailman installation, even as mail sent from the command line and mail sent with the Leyland list is getting out.  The MTA is postfix.
