Please see the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/OIDD>.

This is only applicable if you are using a 'mailman' transport with
postfix_to_mailman.py. It should not be included in main.cf if you are
delivering via aliases.

The actual alias should not have the '@fruitcom.com' bit. Where does
this come from? Did Mailman generate it in data/aliases or did you
manually edit Mailman's data/aliases or /etc/aliases?

See the installation manual at
<http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node12.html>.
