[Mailman] Much ado about relay


Recommended Posts

I'm running Postfix as my MTA with Mailman, and I'm having a bit of trouble. I've created a list in Mailman, added subscribers, and stuck the info into /etc/aliases. However, when I email the listname@domain.com address, it bounces back as "Unknown User." Here's what shows up in /var/log/maillog:

Here's my main.cf file for Postfix: http://fanime.kicks-ass.net/main.cf

I've been following the instructions on this page: http://www.syntheticzero.com/howto/vmail.php

If I had to guess, I'd say my problem was the relay... The log entry for recieving the email says relay=virtual while the log entry for sending the "User Unkown" email back to the server says "relay=gsmtp171.google.com[64.233.171.27]"... and the latter works.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
