What happens to mail to the old lists (after delivery to Mailman - see
below)?


See
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.078.htp>.

The log entry below "(delivered to command:
/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post listname)" says you are running
Mailman 2.1.x. These residual 2.0.x files were converted to config.pck
and digest.mbox files when the installation was upgraded to 2.1. They
should now be deleted (assuming they are old and there are current
config.pck* files.

Assuming 'listname' above is one of the affected lists, the message is
being delivered to Mailman so the Postfix Aliases are OK. Refer to the
FAQ above (items 6-8 in particular) for other things which might be
wrong.
