Hello,

I am having trouble with mailman bounced messages attempting to send to the wrong machine.

Initially I set up mailman in a test environment - hostname sbuild6 has the web interface and mxtest machine was the meil exchanger all went well with testing.  We have moved the installation to production machines (mx1 and mx2 are the mail exchangers and a virtual host named mailman handles the web interface.  Things seem to be working ok except when I look at the mailq I see hundreds of attempts to send to mailman at sbuild6 ... The couple of test lists I have are working
but how can I fix the mailq issue?  Here is an example  from the mailq from the prod mail exchangers.

The aliases file has no reference to mailman at sbuild6 and the config file is as follows:
