[Mailman-Users] Beginner questions

Using the DNS report tool from
www.dnsstuff.com

It says you don't have a MX record for that domain. Quoting:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MX  FAIL
MX Category  ERROR: I couldn't find any MX records for 
mytimewithgod.net. If you want to receive E-mail on this domain, you 
should have MX record(s). Without any MX records, mailservers should 
attempt to deliver mail to the A record for mytimewithgod.net. I can't 
continue in a case like this, so I'm assuming you don't receive mail on 
this domain.
 
Mail  FAIL  Connect to mail servers  ERROR: I could not find any 
mailservers for mytimewithgod.net.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

I subscribed to your list and got a confirm email from the list. I 
replied to this, but was never told I was subscribed. Looking  the 
headers for your confirmation email and I quote:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Received: from mail.electrichendrix.com ([127.0.0.1]) by localhost 
(mail.electrichendrix.com [127.0.0.1]) (amavisd-new, port 10024) with 
ESMTP id 33sehzUyOLfY for <dennis at eaachat.org>; Mon, 1 Oct 2007 07:45:51 
-0400 (EDT)
Received: from web.site (unknown [192.168.123.3]) by 
mail.electrichendrix.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id B9289EBDB for 
<dennis at eaachat.org>; Mon, 1 Oct 2007 07:45:51 -0400 (EDT)
Received: from web.site (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by web.site (Postfix)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The IP address 192.168.123.3 isn't right - is it? That's an internal 
address on your intranet rather than a valid Internet IP.

Also - I sent 2 test emails to the list address on the webpage:
mtwg-prayer at lists.mytimewithgod.net

and got the following mail returned error from 
MAILER-DAEMON at mail.electrichendrix.com
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Final-Recipient: rfc822; mtwg-prayer at lists.mytimewithgod.net

Confirm emails are being sent; it looks like postfix on the webserver is not receiving email. I have also joined the postfix list for help.
