[Mailman-Users] Mailman with Postfix and OS X

[Greg Westin]

I think I solved my issues, and they were simple.  The only problems 
were that 1) I had accidentally typed DEFAULT_HOME_NAME or something 
like that instead of DEFAULT_HOST_NAME, and 2) I hadn't re-specified 
MAILMAN_OWNER after redefining DEFAULT_HOST_NAME in the mm_cfg.py file.

I think I'm all set now... sorry about the trouble.  But if anyone can 
tell me any particular changes I should make to my configuration so that 
things work better with Postfix, please let me know.  I think I did what 
the install FAQ recommends for Postfix, creating another aliases 
database in the mailman folder, etc, but other than that I don't think 
I've done anything Postfix-specific.

Thanks,

Greg
