Mark is correct, this is a Postfix issue not a Mailman issue, per-se.  The
default setup of Mailman with postfix is that it sets up a virtual table
where listname at listdomain.domain.com is redirected to listname at domain.com,
and if somebody has listname at domain.com, then you're sunk.  CPanel patched
their version of Mailman so that listname at listdomain.domain.com is
redirected to listname-listdomain at domain.com, which would solve your
problem, but you'd probably have to do it by hand.  Look in
/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/virtual-mailman and /var/lib/mailman/aliases.

that much, because it lends a certain attitude of disdain to what would
