Do you have the appropriate alias_maps entry in your postfix
configuration pointing to aliases as discussed in
<http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node13.html>

Do you have "MTA = 'Postfix'" in your mm_cfg.py and have you run
bin/genaliases to create the appropriate entries in data/aliases* and
data/virtual-mailman*?

You have to do all the stuff in sec 6.1.1 of the manual as well as the
stuff in sec 6.1.2 that you said you'd read many times.

I'm sure this can be improved. We'd appreciate the help.


>Actually, the opposite. I'd set up a virtual mailbox for "pctest" but none of the rest of the pctest-* hierarchy. It's not covered in the docs, but from Mark's email I gather that I shouldn't need this step -- instead mail should be piped to the command Mark gave above.


You need entries in virtual-mailman* for addresses in your postfix
virtual domains to map them to local addresses, AND you need entries
in aliases* to cause these local addresses to be piped to the wrapper.
If you have MTA = 'Postfix' Mailman should take care of maintaining
data/aliases* and data/virtual-mailman* for you, but you need to
reference them in the postfix config as discissed in
<http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node13.html> and
<http://www.list.org/mailman-install/postfix-virtual.html>
