[Mailman-Users] Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table;

[Thufir]

I'm just not sure whether the problem rests with the transport or 
alias_maps and alias_database -- alias_maps points to an empty file.

Pardon the repost of similar data.  Here's a slightly edited version, 
minor correction in naming conventions:


     root at dur:~#
     root at dur:~# grep alias /etc/postfix/main.cf
     alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases
     alias_database = hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases
     #alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
