Ok, apologies for the delay, but I didn't get to this until now...

It went smooth as silk and everything is running fine, but I have one
minor question.

Here's a log entry for a test delivery after the changes:

1. May  9 16:39:35 myhost postfix/smtpd[21517]: connect from
my.client.example.com[###.###.###.###]
2. May  9 16:39:35 myhost postfix/smtpd[21517]: AE6D7621142:
client=my.client.example.com[###.###.###.###], sasl_method=PLAIN,
sasl_username=myuser at example.com
3. May  9 16:39:35 myhost postfix/cleanup[21523]: AE6D7621142:
message-id=<4BE71D87.6030805 at example.com>
4. May  9 16:39:35 myhost postfix/qmgr[21380]: AE6D7621142:
from=<Me at Example.com>, size=852, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
5. May  9 16:39:35 myhost postfix/local[21525]: AE6D7621142:
to=<listname at smtp.example.com>, orig_to=<ListName at Example.com>,
relay=local, delay=0.24, delays=0.03/0.01/0/0.2, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent
(delivered to command: /usr/lib64/mailman/mail/mailman post listname)
6. May  9 16:39:35 moria postfix/qmgr[21380]: AE6D7621142: removed
7. May  9 16:39:36 moria postfix/smtpd[21517]: disconnect from
my.client.example.com[###.###.###.###]

My question is about line #5 above:

5. May  9 16:39:35 myhost postfix/local[21525]: AE6D7621142:
to=<listname at smtp.example.com>, orig_to=<ListName at Example.com>,
relay=local, delay=0.24, delays=0.03/0.01/0/0.2, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent
(delivered to command: /usr/lib64/mailman/mail/mailman post listname)

Why is it listname at smtp.example.com instead of listname at lists.example.com?

smtp.example.com is the postfix hostname, so I'm sure that's where it's
coming from, and it isn't a big deal, but for some reason I thought that
it would use the URL subdomain? No worries if it isn't trivial to change
this so it uses lists.example.com, but thats what I'd prefer...

Profuse thanks again to you Mark for being willing to bang this out with me!
