[Mailman-Users] Help with mailman and postfix

I recently switched from Sendmail to Postfix running on Mailman 2.1b3
Red Hat 7.3 and I followed all the instructions in the README.POSTFIX
file. I've got the aliases located in "/home/mailman/data" and mailman
as the "mail-gid", not using virtual domains. Turned off Sendmail and
turned on Postfix and when I send a message nothing happens, nothing
goes in the queue directory, nothing goes in the mailman log files, it's

as if nothing was sent, because nothing is reported in
/var/spool/postfix.

In the Postfix configuration file (main.cf) I changed the myhostname to
"myhostname= kwlinux.isu.edu" , which is my Mailmans machines hostname.
I changed mydomain to "mydomain = isu.edu" and mydestination is setup as

"mydestination= $myhostname, localhost, $mydomain" and the
inet_interfaces is setup as "inet_interface = localhost". Changed
alias_map to point to the alias file in mailman,
is there something I'm missing, is there something else I need to
activate on my system, or
tell my Red Hat Linux 7.3 that Postfix is now the MTA.
