If your MTA is Postfix, you don't have entries for list at domain.com and
the list-* administrative addresses in a virtual_alias_maps file.

If it's some other MTA you have the equivalent issue.

No.


If you are using Apple's package, this is really a question for Apple,
but we can try to help. If the MTA is Postfix, post the output from
"sudo postconf -n". Also include a listing of the contents of
Mailman's mm_cfg.py.

Did you create the list with Mailman's bin/newlist, Mailman's web
interface or Apple's GUI?

See <http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node12.html> and its
subsections 6.1.1 and 6.1.2. Also see the FAQ at
<http://wiki.list.org/x/QoA9>.
